FREEDOM LONG DENIED FINALLY RESTORED: PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE FREED AFTER INJUSTICE AND OPPRESSION!

By Daniel Okonkwo

Injustice refers to unfair treatment or violation of rights, often leading to harm or disadvantage for an individual or group. It can take various forms, including social, economic, and environmental injustice, and can stem from factors like discrimination, unequal power dynamics, and systemic biases. Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor's fight has always been for the good and positive.

Barrister Ifeanyi has always been in the history of fighting for the oppressed. He made history again on April 10, 2025, at the Ebonyi State High Court, as 12 Igbo inmates—part of a group of 36 held since May 24, 2021—were finally set free in compliance with successive court orders discharging and acquitting them of all charges. Pre-existing biases within institutions or systems that perpetuate unfair practices. The state has to provide resources and support to those who are disproportionately affected by injustice and not imprison them.

This victory follows a formal application by the Ebonyi State Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), who, in acknowledgment of repeated judicial pronouncements, withdrew the latest charge filed against these 12 individuals. It marked a long-overdue respect for the rule of law and a reaffirmation of their innocence, which courts had upheld time and again.

Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor said, “In line with the court’s directive, I ensured the handover of the released individuals,” an order promptly complied with by the prison authorities.

Our legal team remains relentless and fully committed to securing the freedom of the remaining detainees—men who have also been discharged and acquitted by no fewer than four different High Courts in Ebonyi State.

Their release is no longer a matter of if, but when—and that moment draws closer by the day.

Justice may be delayed, but it shall not be denied.

Freedom must prevail. There's no doubt that Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor has worked tirelessly to free so many wrongfully jailed. Posterity will know that you played a wonderful role in the freedom of mankind.

THE ILLEGAL AND HEALTH RISKS OF CONSUMING CROCODILE MEAT IN NIGERIA: I thought you should know Eating suya is considered the ultimate African street food, particularly popular in countries like Nigeria. However, in recent times, some individuals have strayed from the norm, venturing into consuming endangered animals—a dangerous practice that can have serious legal consequences. In Nigeria, the consumption of grilled crocodile meat—or crocodile meat in any form—can land you in jail. Yes, you heard that correctly. The Nigerian government has sued individuals for killing and consuming crocodiles, citing violations of environmental and wildlife protection laws. In cities like Abuja and Lagos, there are numerous joints where crocodile meat is openly sold, often without the knowledge of customers regarding the dangers and legal risks involved. If you are caught buying or eating such meat by government enforcement agents, you could face arrest and prosecution. Importantly, ignorance of t...

ARE COWS MORE VALUABLE THAN HUMANS IN NIGERIA? WHAT IS THE VALUE OF LIFE IN A NATION IN CRISIS — HOW MANY MORE MUST DIE? By Daniel Okonkwo In recent years, the value of human life in Nigeria has come under intense scrutiny, particularly due to the relentless attacks on farming communities, primarily in the Middle Belt and North-Central regions. The haunting question that continues to echo across local and international discourse is: Are cows more valuable than human beings in Nigeria? This question becomes even more unsettling when viewed through the lens of recurring, unprovoked attacks by armed herdsmen—mostly identified as Fulani militants—on rural communities. Headlines consistently portray the devastating impact of these attacks: “At least 21 killed in Nigeria after herdsmen attack villagers,” “At least 140 villagers killed by suspected herders,” and “On April 12, 2022, armed herdsmen attacked several villages in Benue State, killing over 25 people and injuring many more.” Th...

Security Chiefs, Do Your Job—Nigerians Are Dying: The Herders-Farmers Conflict Rooted in Land, Law, and Neglect

Security Chiefs, Do Your Job—Nigerians Are Dying: The Herders-Farmers Conflict Rooted in Land, Law, and Neglect By Daniel Okonkwo For close to three decades, a brutal and persistent conflict has gripped Nigeria’s Middle Belt, with the state of Benue emerging as one of its bloodiest epicenters. What began as tensions between itinerant herders and local farmers has evolved into an entrenched humanitarian and security crisis. Despite Nigeria’s constitutional guarantees and land governance framework, the conflict continues to claim lives, displace communities, and erode the nation’s socio-political cohesion. Why can't herders—like every other Nigerian—buy land or peacefully negotiate for grazing rights with host communities? Instead, there have been recurring reports of herders trespassing on farmland, destroying crops, and engaging in deadly confrontations with local populations. This crisis intensified during the previous administration and has escalated dramatically in recent...
