Man Spends 10 Months In Prison For Sending Boss His Resignation Letter Via Text

A man spent 10 months in prison for sending his boss his resignation letter via text.

 

Glamtush reports that a Nigerian lawyer has secured the release of a 26-year-old photographer and keyboardist whose boss got locked up for sending his resignation letter via a text message.

 

Posting the story on X, Funke Adeoye said even though the boss who is a politician and owner of a huge photography studio in Abuja withdrew the case with the police, the young man was still locked up until her team was notified and they were able to secure his release.

Her post read, “This is Nicholas. A 26 year old graduate, photographer & Keyboardist.

Sometime in October 2023, Nicholas sent a text message to his boss resigning his role as a photographer in the photo studio.

His boss was angry at the content of the text message & got him arrested.

From spending 2 days in police detention, he ended up being charged for “intentional insult”, locked up & up in a room with 189 other cell mates at a prison in Keffi because he could not afford the bail sum initially N100,000 & later N50,000.

He remained there even after the said boss, a politician in the current administration & owner of a popular photography studio in FCT wrote a letter to the court withdrawing the charge.

Two weeks ago, someone hinted @hopebehindbar about Nicholas plight and @thehassanian reached out to a friend of his who donated N50,000 anonymously.

The first picture is a picture of Nicholas 2 months before prison, second is a picture of him when we got him out last week and the third is a picture of him at @hopebehindbar office today.”
