Emeka Nzeruike, a 12-year-old boy, arrested in 2015 and held in prison for alleged theft without trial, has finally regained his freedom.
Emeka was imprisoned at the age of 12 and was released in 2025, at the age of 22, following the intervention of a lawyer.
A lawyer identified as Alex, who secured Emeka’s freedom, shared the story on his X page on July 29, accompanied by photos of the young boy’s present condition.
He tweeted:
