A Nigerian man identified as
Akpoghene Edeno, has just become a lawyer after he was called to bar 7 years
after he was allegedly released from prison.
According to Facebook user,
Charles Mallam-Obi, Edeno was imprisoned for 12 years for a murder he did not
commit.
This, however, did not stop him
from pursuing his dreams as he not only wrote WAEC in prison, he proceeded to
study law after he was released.
The post reads:
“Akpoghene Edeno is my childhood
friend who spent twelve years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit. He wrote
WAEC while still in prison. He came out in 2012 and immediately proceeded to
the University of Benin to study law. Today, he has been called to the Nigeria
bar.
His story is a testament to how
indomitable the determined human spirit is. He could have been bitter at the
society for the injustice he suffered for an offense he didn’t commit. He could
have been depressed. But he chose to show up and face the challenges of life.
Congratulations, my brother. The
sky isn’t even your starting floor!”
