Man Sent to Jail For Uprooting His Employer's Cassava Over 2 Months Unpaid Salary
A Nigerian human rights activist, Comrade Kola Edokpayi has rescued one Mr. Kennedy Omokaro who was arrested and charged to court for uprooting his master's cassava and sold same for N3,000 to buy food stuff because his Oga has not paid him for two months.
He had spent three months in Benin prison over the incident before he was rescued.
Writing the incident on Facebook, Edokpayi said:
"Yesterday, Comrade Kola Edokpayi in company with other comrades perfected the bail of one Mr. Kennedy Omokaro who was arrested and charged to court for uprooting his master's cassava and sold same for N3,000 to buy food stuff because his Oga has not paid him for two months.
The young man had already spent three months in Benin Prison before his sister who was frustrated brought the matter to our notice last weekend through a friend and we swing into action and got him out of prison within 72 hours.
Speaking after the young man's release from incarceration, Kola Edokpayi said and I quote "I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work".
Uhuru is achievable."
