I SAW THIS POST ACROSS FACEBOOK THIS MORNING BY A FRIEND AND DECIDED TO POST IT,I THINK THIS VOICE DESERVE TO BE HEARD...PLS BE KIND ENOUGH TO READ AND SHARE
"My name is Emmanuel Emeka, a prisoner in Ankaful
maximum security prison, Cape Coast, Ghana. I’m
serving a jail-term of 130yrs imprisonment and I’m
presently in my 8th year.
We appeal to the Nigerian government to please come to
our aid. The condition here has been so unbearable for
(we) Nigerian prisoners in Ghana. We need to reconnect
with our families. The Ghanaian police are fond of
arresting innocent Nigerians, giving them high sentence
of 50yrs 70yrs 100yrs 150yrs to 200yrs.
Most of us have spent 8yrs 10yrs 15yrs 17yrs 20yrs
inside prison and some have died inside the prison
without completing their jail-term. Our families are in the
dark, they really don’t know what we are facing. We’ve
spent a lot of money trying to appeal in court, but all is
to no avail. Within my 8years in prison, I have witnessed
over 100 deaths of Nigerian citizen in the Ghana prison
and most of their families are not even aware. They still
keep the hope of their return without knowing they are
dead and buried with no rites. We appeal to the
government of Nigeria to please act on our behalf so we
won’t continue to perish in this peril.
There are many Nigerians in all the 46 prisons in Ghana
that need help from the Nigerian government. Also the
media, kindly keep spreading the message until it finally
grips the attention of the able government. To fellow
citizens of Nigeria, our brothers, sisters, fathers and
mothers, please continue to pray for us and do what you
can to return us back home. Another sad part is that
most of us are on sick bed, no drugs for us. This is the
unseen hardship Nigerian citizens in all the prisons in
Ghana are facing and myself inclusive. I’ve been sick for
the past 2 months and they have not taken me to the
hospital or give me any drug. They treat us like animals,
they give us dry garri everyday, no access to
communication. I know how I suffered to get this phone
to send this message to you.
Please, on this message, lies the survival of about 800
to 1000 Nigerian prisoners in the 46 prisons in Ghana
who are in this type of high sentence. Help us spread the
message to all the four corners of Nigeria to make
campaign for our freedom because that is the only hope
left for us.please share this msg
