Segun Olowookere, a man who was arrested at the age of 17 in 2010 for allegedly stealing a fowl and subsequently sentenced to death, has been released from prison after spending 14 years in detention.
On December 26, Ademola Adeleke, governor of Osun state, granted pardon to 53 convicts, including Olowookere.
This decision follows the viral interview with Biola Adebayo, a Nigerian actress, where Olowookere’s parents claimed some police officers in the state wrongfully arrested Olowookere.

Olanrewaju, his father, alleged that a divisional police officer (DPO), requested money for his release, but the inability to pay resulted in his son’s wrongful imprisonment.
In a video on Monday, December 30, 2024, the actress was seen standing in front of Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison with Olowookere.
“This is Segun Olowookere. We’re just leaving Kiri Kiri; he’s finally out of the correctional centre. Thank you so much for the love and support,” Adebayo said in the video.
She went on to share positive words about Segun, describing him as “a good guy” and noting that many inmates at the correctional centre had expressed sadness at his departure. “The testimonies, even at the correctional centre, have been amazing. In fact, some of them were crying that he was leaving,” Adebayo added.
