I am just returning from the Custodial Center.
I was meant to re-interview just one person: remember the guy that got sentenced to death for defending himself against two armed robbers that attacked him?
Yes, today as scheduled for his further interview.
However, sequel to the said interview, the Officer in Charge, whilst on soft patrol, reached out to me and commended me for taking conscious effort to decongest the custodial center under his care. He was most impressed.
So, whilst at it, inmates without lawyers were referred to me.
I handful of them and some of those cases are worth sharing, after spending more than 4 hours [t]here.
1. Interviewed an inmate, let us called her EUO.
- She is 18 years old.
- Her father died when she was still a child (she is told).
- She hawks "agidi" and lives with her grandmother.
- Accused of armed robbery.
- She was arrested sometime in August 2024 alongside three men between ages 45 - 49 - all accused of armed robbery.
- When the police arrested, they tortured her to the point that she confessed to be an armed robber and wielding a gun.
-But at the Custodial center and during interview, she opened up that she never did any of those things: that it because:
1. the hung her upside down;
2. used lighter to burn her vagina;
3. tortured her until she could no longer endure the torture she received.
- One of the suspects arrested with her, who flatly denied being an armed robber, subsequently died at the police correctional center, owing to the torture meted on him at the Police Station.
- She was asked to produce 150k for her bail at the police station. But since she could produce the said 150k, she subsequently remanded.
- It is her case that she was prevented by the police from reaching her grandmother at all material time.
Her family is not aware of her whereabouts as I make this tweet.
I will be representing her pro bono.
@gideonodoma It's worth asking them directly what they do while dating, we never know.
All said, I personally believe Christians should not date.
In the future, I'm planning to write about the question, 'Should a Christian date?'
This will address my stance on 'Christian dating'.

@gideonodoma However, Interpretations and applications of dating can vary widely.Reason dating has become popular among Christians especially in western world is because people often meet eachother online, in DMs,etc, with the need to build friendship with a purpose; to lead to courtship

@WesleyAdi An exception is stated in 1 Corinthians 8. Vs 9 and 11 "Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge"
@McKeeZach Right and there's a difference between being joyful and being happy. Happiness is base on circumstances, joy is an attitude that defines circumstances.
@McKeeZach Jesus Christ is that difference. Not even kidding. If you’re living a life where you can’t find true happiness. Constantly trying to cover up the sadness or find something to fill in that void, why not give Jesus a shot?
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has allowed the Texas Heartbeat Law to remain in effect, which is saving up to 100 lives a day.
Their ruling permits abortion providers to challenge Texas's abortion ban but dismisses the President Biden’s Justice Department's lawsuit.
