Dear sir 

We hope this letter will get  to the hands of  our honourable president of federal republic of Nigeria and to whom it may concern as a Nigerian to be aware of what your fellow Nigerians are going through in the hands of Togo government and it authorities.

We the entire your brothers and sisters Nigerian prisoners in Togo wish you long life for the good work you are doing for the betterment of Nigeria.

We are not asking for money or for food but to come for our rescue as we dying one after another. They are giving us mental and physical torture and killing our future and the future of  our children for those of us here in prison who are married with wife and children.Our future is being destroyed and our children no longer go to school any more .

We thank you very much and will be sincerely be very  happy if you can remember us and do something concerning this deplorable  conditions of Nigerians  in Togo prison .  

But as a matter of fact we were expecting changes from the justice of Togo Republic but all we can get from them is high sentences with hatred and wickedness and mockery more than as it was before when comes to a matter that concerns Nigerians

For their so called aziz judgement of few  months ago, for example in business cases ,Togo citizen  was giving 2 to 4 years but in the case of Nigerians was given ,10 to 15 years. Most of Nigerians  in Togo prisons are business people.

Togo government and it authorities hate Nigerians  to the last. With little offence as a Nigerian they most put you in prison for year’s without judgement for the sake of using us to collect more from E.U

We are pleading to you to use your good office in nigeria to look into our problem and rescue us from Togo government who are using Nigerian prisoners to trade and collect money from.E.U and other international bodies. This is why many Nigerians have stayed 2to10 plus without judgement

We are feeding ourselves here in the prison. They are doing all this because the government of Togo don’t spend any money on prisoners. They depend on EU and other international bodies to give them money for prisoners but prisoners feed themselves especially Nigerians

We want to let you know that the Togo governments are collecting money from from E.U and other international bodies for each prisoner daily for their selfish interest not for prisoners. They are happy seeing Nigerians suffering and dying in their prisons with judgement

Togo prison is like a concentration camp of Germany during the time of Hitler which six million people were killed, so it is to us Nigerians.

We are dying one after another, some months ago one Mr Charles died due to non medical attention upon the money we the Nigerian prisoners contributed and gave to the authorities of the prison for his treatment,  many Nigerians  has died since five years I entered into this Togo prison without judgement.many are very sick without medical attention and without food. some Nigerians here in Togo prison have stayed 2to10  years plus without judgement

We sincerely honor and respect you and also respect the weight of Nigeria in Africa and the world as you hear little of what we  nigerians are going through in Togo.some months ago a prisoner was bitten to death with the allegation that he want to run,and they told his people that he has ran away.

Togo government and it authorities are capable of telling you lies as much as you want to hear ,unless you send delegate to confirm what we are saying

In this regard sir with humbleness and respect to you sir and to whom it may concern, on behalf of my fellow prisoners here in Lome Togo Republic, we are pleading to you and to whom it may concern to follow the process of repatriating us back to our country Nigeria to serve our jail terms there even if it will be more harder than here  Please we are pleading with tires to come and rescue us back to Nigeria
We hope that this latter we sent to you will not be in vain .
We are expecting to hear from you soon concerning this letter

Thanks and God bless you, and bless  federal republic of Nigeria.
Thanks from Ben Okolie

On be half of the Nigerian prisoners in  Togo
