Mr.
Ogbewi recalled an experience that took place in Auchi, Edo State in
2010 where his fellow chorister, Ugboke Timothy Ehiagwina was convicted
and jailed in Oko prison, Edo State for offence which he did not commit.
According
to him, “I can still recall vividly that it was a land dispute and
their house was set on fire. Members of Ugboke Timothy Ehiagwina family
died in the fire incident. The Nigeria Police Force and the judiciary
betrayed him in handling the matter and my friend, Ugboke Timothy
Ehiagwina was later sent to Oko Prison, Edo State. It was really a
bitter experience and a display of injustice”.
While lamenting over the injustice done to Ugboke Timothy Ehiagwina,
Mr.Ogbewi revealed that when he checked on him as at January 5, 2014
that he was said to be among the twelve inmates that escaped from the
prison during a bomb blast that happened in 2012 and since then, his
whereabouts was unknown.
In
tears, he appealed to the Nigerian government to probe the police force
and the judiciary of their injustice for a good and better country
ahead.
The dark complexion Ugboke Timothy Ehiagwina was born on March 13, 1976. He hails from Auchi in Edo State.
