My group is handling the case of West Chimaobi Peters, a gospel artiste
who has been remanded in Aba prison custody since February of this year.
This man is aged 29 and has spent 6 months in prison without anyone
willing to come forward and perfect his bail conditions. He was charged
for stealing and impersonation and he has been granted bail by the
Magistrate Court at World Bank in Aba, Abia State. I tried contacting
his surety who was his mother and she was willing to get people that
will be eligible to come and fulfill his bail conditions.
However, we weren't able to get his charge sheet and record of
court proceedings the first time we went but we have a date to get the
documents on Tuesday the 10th of July 2018. Once this is done, his
sureties would come and perfect his bail conditions and he would be
released on bail. ABSU Law clinic is still committed to providing access
to justice to indigent members of the society and we keep striving to
do so.
