The centenarian, who hails from Akokwa in Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State, was condemned to death along with his son, Paul and another relation, now 87.
They were said to have been engaged in a fight over a piece of land and in the process, somebody died. With such fate, Pa Egbunuche has for over 17 years lived in desolation and hopelessness.
Happy Belated 100th Birthday to him.!
Na wah ooo ,happy belated birthday to him.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless Everyone.
They should just release him biko.
DeleteAwww. This is so touching. kai!
DeleteYou do the crime, you serve the time. Fighting over land is a very horrible thing as it forces a good person to commit horrendous crime.
DeleteEyahhhhhh
DeleteThey should free him joorrrr
Awwwwww.... I met him during one of my prison visitation in 2013....
ReplyDeleteWow! You visit prisons. You are trying. And God's grace to everyone w ho does. You all are the real MVPs. God will continually shower you guys with blessings. Its not easy to do that. Bringing hope to the hopeless.
DeleteAwelewa 👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍. I visit kirikiri often as well
Delete*Larry was here*
Awwwww
DeleteCan someone release this man please! People are stealing millions and someone put this man in jail till he clocked 100. He has restituted please release him.
ReplyDeleteWow how does he cope,for serving 17 years already this old man should be pardoned to live the remainder of his life with family before death comes....happy birthday to him
ReplyDeleteWow! Na wa oo
ReplyDeleteLawyers get in here, after spending a life time in prison, a person like these should at least pass on amist loved ones.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 09.42 read the story again to understand please. There was no mention of him spending lifetime there na
DeleteHappy birthday o
ReplyDeleteKAI! Land matter...and now the land is still there. I wish pple will learn.
ReplyDeleteyou're right.
DeleteLand ends very bad in most cases. And maybe this land they fought and killed over belong to their fathers, not land they bought with their own money.
DeleteBack to the matter. Na wa. He wasn't given life sentence so why are they leaving him to spend the rest of his days there?
ReplyDeleteHe was given a death sentence. Execute him or let him go. The past 17 years must have been more of a torture than a swift execution if you know what I mean.
Wow, 17 years in prison and he is 100 years
ReplyDeleteThey should give him state pardon Biko
Belated happy birthday to you PA
So his whole generation lives in the prison.....this is so so sad
ReplyDeleteEhya. What a life. I hope he gets a state pardon,he has paid for his sins enough.
ReplyDeleteThis man must have been a terror to his immediate family, and community, hence no one came to his defence, if you know, you know
ReplyDeleteThe government should just set this man free.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to him, may God grant him mercy and grace
ReplyDeletePlease oooo let them release him ooooooooooo. @Princess Tever
ReplyDeleteThe evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones. The law must take it's course, as it's pinnacles are purely blind.
ReplyDeleteThey should release this man biko
ReplyDeleteThey should have mercy on this old man.
ReplyDeleteSo his son is also there with him or have they executed him. Watching your kid wasting away is enough torture on its own.
ReplyDeleteNawa
He should be released please.
ReplyDeleteOh my God! They should please pardon him. Belated happy birthday sir.
ReplyDeleteSo the little devil was killing people at 83yrs. Who knows how many other people he has killed in his prime. Let him remain there and let justice prevail. For the known and unknown victims. I don’t care about his age. Happy Birthday to him sha.
ReplyDeleteThis is sad and cases like these need to be reviewed, not just because he is old but a lot of people are languishing in prison over cases that a fine or minimal sentence can take care of but no they’d rather over populate the prisons.
ReplyDeleteMy dear what of the person he killed. Do you know how his widow and kids are feeling. Their breadwinner and protector gone. Some of these old men are wicked. All over land.
DeleteIf you see what my dad's elder brothers showed us when my father died. We had to run away for 20 odd years.
Now we are all old and fighting for our father's property.
My wicked uncle who didnt even recognize any of us told us before he can leave a house my own father built, we the children have to build him another house.
We sold the house with him still living there when he refuse to leave.
My mum is convinced all those village people killed my father out of jealousy because of his wealth.
This old man killed someone. Had it been he just stole. I would say release him
But I don't pity people that shed blood despite their age.
What nonsense mercy. He was involved in a land disputes. Someone ducking died
ReplyDeleteI do not mean to sound insensitive, but all of you shouting this is so touching, the govt should release him, have you asked urself, what of justice for his victim? What of the dead man’s family? He probably had kids whose destiny was changed due to the death of their father. I hope u would say this same thing if it was ur husband, brother or father that was the victim.
ReplyDeleteWell said @ anonymmous 11:34
DeleteNigerians reason from both sides. Why would an old man like that go as far as killing a fellow human being over land and if he did, why should he go free? If you do the crime, you do the time no matter who you are. Don't be surprise he killed a relative.
DeleteSome of these old men are very wicked. Just like my fathers elder brother that took over his property when he died.
DeleteHe never for one day ask after his brothers children. In fact he wanted us away so that we will never ask of the properties.
Our first born has even passed on now. You don't want to know family battles when it comes to land and property.
Some are willing to kill.
If you ask now. That their land may not be up to 1m and they killed in the process.
eyah dey should pity d old age nah.make dem free d man abi which kind work this man fit do for prison again
ReplyDeleteIdeato people and long life. Happy birthday papa
ReplyDeleteYou will live ooooooo
Releasing may not be the best. Many prisoners released go back to crime. Most times when people stay in prison so long, they have no family left. I mean, their family may still be alive but they may have moved on with their lives and burdened with their own families. While he may have a new life in prison, with new friends and all he is used to. I may be wrong, But then, releasing him just based on sentiments is unconstitutional.
ReplyDeleteGOD FORBID! Poverty is a curse walahi!
ReplyDeleteLolo ideato please kindly visit him,,,
ReplyDeleteThe governor needs to pardon this man and free him ASAP.
