Nigerian man regains freedom from prison after over 11 years

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian man had regained freedom from prison after spending over 11 years awaiting trial.

In the course of his return from a visit to his parents sometime in November 2010, Godswill was said to have been accosted by two men who claimed to be police officers.

The men beat him up over his refusal to allow them to search him and afterwards took him to Ajeromi Police Station, Lagos. He remained in that police station for 2 months without being charged to court for any crime.

When he was eventually taken to a Magistrate court in January 2011 on grounds of armed robbery, his case was at the court for 2 years awaiting Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) advice.
