Missing Boy Found After 18 Years Locked Up in Port Harcourt Jail Without Trial
Gospel Kinanee disappeared at age 14 in 2007 and was presumed dead after exhaustive searches. His parents died of grief that same year. In early 2025 a team of human rights lawyers discovered him in Port Harcourt Correctional Centre. At 32, he emerged mentally unstable with no case file or formal charge against him. The Chief Judge of Rivers State granted him clemency and he’s now home under medical care. His family is pursuing a lawsuit against state and correctional authorities for gross rights violations. They face threats from some officials but insist on justice, compensation and proper rehabilitation so Gospel can rebuild his life.
