A Chicken, Eggs, A Conviction, and Years On Deathrow (Segun Olowookere)

At just 17 years old, Segun Olowookere was arrested in Osun State and later sentenced to death in a case that would spark controversy for years. Supporters, activists, and family members insisted he was innocent and claimed he was wrongfully convicted. Others pointed to the court's findings and maintained that the conviction was lawful. As public attention grew, the case became one of Nigeria's most debated justice stories. After spending more than a decade behind bars, Olowookere's story returned to national headlines, raising questions about wrongful convictions, death row sentences, police investigations, and the limits of justice. This episode examines the Segun Olowookere case, the allegations, the court proceedings, the campaign for his release, and the controversy that continues to surround what really happened. Was he a victim of a flawed system—or is the full story more complicated than the headlines suggest?
