A man who have been in prison for over 5 years for a crime he knew nothing about has finally been released.
According to report, the man was allegedly shot in the leg and arrested by SARS after they mistook him for someone else.
He was said to have lost his leg through amputation due to the damage of the bullet.
A youth advocated Oluyemi Fasipe, who shared the story via his Twitter handle wrote:
“I saw this guy at the court now, he was discharged & acquitted after spending 5yrs in prison, he was mistakenly arrested alongside some kidnappers, he was shot by SARS during the arrest & had to be amputated. Imagine going through all these without committing any crime. #EndSARS
“I spoke with his lawyer and advised him to write a petition to the Ondo State panel of inquiry on his behalf.”
