I want To bring to the attention of Mr President, Governor Fashola and all well meaning and thoughtful Nigerians about the plight of a seventeen year old girl named Comfort from a dirt poor family from River State who is now languishing in Kirikiri prison where she recently gave birth to a baby boy named Monday.

As a father, my heart bled profusely when I saw the story of this young, promising but poor girl in the News Service Of Nigeria and I decided to give it wider coverage through SaharaReporters. Comfort hails from Rivers State, the fourth child from a family of seven. She sold sachet water to help her family get by. An Uncle Mr. Nwitua Nadun met her in her humble situation and agreed to bring her to Lagos and help with her education.

Surprisingly, she got pregnant for her Uncle, was accused of stealing his money and then got locked up in Kirikiri prisons where she gave birth to a baby boy named Monday. She is unable to post her bail and I do believe in my spirit that this young girl is innocent.

She does not deserve to be in jail and this is why I am calling on Mr President, Governor Fashola and all well meaning Nigerians to look into this case and take action.
