it is all joy for Emmanuel Ihejirika, a Nigerian who was previously sentenced to death in Indonesia for drug trafficking, been released after several years in prison. His freedom was announced by Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission on Friday, September 13.

Ihejirika’s release was achieved through the pro bono efforts of Emmanuel Isha Ogebe, a Nigerian lawyer based in Washington, D.C.

He was lucky. Indonesia is a very strict country when drug trafficking is the crime. I hope he learned a lesson of his bad action. He must feel remorseful for life is kind to him despite his bad deeds.

Good for him, I do hope this would help him change and become a better person in the future, cause him coming out alive was a huge luck.

That's right good for him he was spared by a very competitive lawyer from your country who holds office in the United States of America.

I don't understand how someone can be that lucky to be cleared of a drug crime in Indonesia. He should go worship whatever he believes in very well.

It must surely be a miracle. I never heard that a drug trafficker was freed from Indonesian prison. He should go and thank his God. May this serve as a lesson to the drug trafficker.

It's indeed a miracle but we do not know the real story. Who knows if he was only framed up and the substantial evidence might have led his acquital.
