Popular Human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu has reflected on the ‘false’ robbery allegation that was leveled against him by his former boss in 2011.

It would be recalled that Gwamnishu was acquitted and discharged in 2015 after standing trial for about four years.

Taking to his Instagram page to reflect on what he went through when he was accused falsely in the robbery case, Harrison wrote:

“What would have been said of me if I didn’t see the light 💡??????

“While weeping in a video he shared on IG, he narrated what transpired around 8:00am on November 30, 2015 when he was acquitted and discharged.

On that date, he said “the GERMAN gate was opened for me and other inmates awaiting trial. I was in CELL 6. The prison wardens led us to the record office where we were booked for court. Because of the nature of the case, a capital offense, on conviction, it’s death sentence, they had to chain one of my leg 🦵 and that of another with padlock 🔐 to prevent us from escaping 😭.

They led us into the GREEN MARIA with armed guards and zoomed off to court.

At 11:45am, 30-11-2015, The wardens unlocked the leg 🦵 chain, led me into the dock.Justice Mabel Omovie, High Court 5 Judge, Asaba, requested for my case file, she asked the female State Counsel “where is the complainant? My accusers couldn’t come forward to prove their case.

While I was in the dock, the Judge went through my case file and started writing ✍. For almost 30 minutes I was still standing in the dock. ‘The dock is a place in the courtroom which is set aside for defendants and marks them out from other participants in the trial’.

After she was done writing ✍, she read all she wrote and ruled in my favor. “HARRISON GWAMNISHU is hereby DISCHARGED” At that moment, the wardens have no more power over me. I walked out of the dock A FREE MAN.

What would have been said of me if I was convicted of another man’s crime? 😭.

I have seen death, I have experienced pain, rejection and trampled on like a rag. God lifted me up.

God alone be praised 👏

🎵 All that matters”
