A 99-year-old man identified as Celestine Egboluche from Imo State is arguably the oldest man in a Nigerian prison. According to evangelist Christian Okezie Chukwuka who paid the old man a visit at the Enugu Maximum prison, the aged prisoner has spent 17 years in prison with his biological son Mr Paul Egboluche over an undisclosed crime(s).

99-year-old man in Enugu prison

Read what Mr Christian shared on Facebook;

These are the video of the elders in the (CC) DEATH ROW Cell in Enugu maximum PRISON. 99 yrs old papa name Mr Celestine Egboluche from Imo State whom has spent 17 yrs in prison with his biological son Mr Paul Egboluche, and 78 Yrs old man Kanayo Arize from Anambra State.

Please the whole world, me to plead to Enugu State government to free our fathers in Enugu prison who has spent 17 years together with his son in that prison. While the tall old man is 78 years. Both of them have suffered enough.

May the God of mercy breath in mercy into the Governor of Enugu and Anambra to show them mercy. The land of Enugu prison have swallowed so many souls, but these two old people will not be allowed to be swallowed by that red rocky land in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Any question on how to reach them, please me.

And if you have access to the government official that could lead to Governor, please me so these old ones will go home and be buried proper when die. Evangelist Christian Chukwuka Abounding Grace Foundation

Which of them is the father?

But the evangelist should have found out for us what they did to be condemned. We need to know so we can pile pressure on the government.

That man doesn’t look 99 sha..

Nigerian prisons are filled with oddities..

What were their crime that they spent such years in prison

I wonder oo!

What crime did he and his son commit? If they kill somebody then they have every right to stay there till death catch up with them.

99ke? He's old but not 99.



No matter the crime, I think he should be freed

Na wa
What crime did they commit

Am just feeling for the 99 year old man

Who else noticed their skulls? How peculiar?

I see Evans like this in 60years time ONLY IF.....

What a wicked world we live in and yet still our politicians who stole billions are guarded with police escorts

wow

I no fit differentiate father from son

Don't release those criminals.
They were either armed robbers or murderers.
Let them rot in jail to serve as lesson to young criminals.

Chief prisoner and heir to the throne
They should have mercy on their soul and kill them already

Umunna u de hear
Odi egwu...
Enugu State Government, We Hail una

One of them is here, confused soul defending criminals.

Hmmmm

What do some of the above mean by "they should be released despite their crimes because of their age"?

Wrong.

If they are wrongly jailed, they should not be allowed to spend a day in bars.

But If they are criminals, please, it will be more of pleading. They deserve it and should serve it.

Many of you dont know what it means like encountering a criminal. If you did, you will understand justice.

Later when any of you are Scammed here on nairaland, you will not allow s hear word.

Hypocrites.

they wouldn't be there if they had not committed any crime....so i rest my case.

Ummmmmm

Crime does not pay!
