Segun Olowookere, a resident of Osun State who was sentenced to death by hanging in 2010 for allegedly stealing a chicken and eggs, has been released from prison.

On December 26, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State granted clemency to 53 convicts, including Olowookere.

This decision came after a viral interview with Nigerian actress Biola Adebayo, during which Olowookere’s parents alleged he was wrongfully arrested by police officers in the state. His father, Olanrewaju, claimed that a divisional police officer (DPO) had demanded money for his release, but their inability to pay led to his imprisonment.

In a video shared on Monday, Adebayo stood outside Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison with Olowookere, expressing gratitude to the governor for the pardon.

She thanked Nigerians for their support and revealed that prison officials had praised Olowookere for his good behavior during his incarceration.

“This is Segun Olowookere; we are just leaving Kirikiri. He is finally out of the correctional center. Thank you so much for the love and support we received,” Adebayo said.

“Segun is a very good guy. The testimonies at the correctional center were amazing. We are glad that he is out now for good. Thank you to Governor Ademola Adeleke; we are grateful.”
