Nonso-Maduakor Wrongfully Charged For Cynthia's Murder by Nobody: 2:43pm On Aug 29, 2012
i may have to eat my words with respect to one of the pharmacists - nonso maduakor

http://www.mridontry.com/2012/08/freenonsomaduakor-nonso-is-one-of.html

Hello dear readers, i'm sure you guys have been following the late Cynthia's murder case (May her soul rest in peace...Amen!) and if you've not, perhaps i can put you up to speed when you click here
Let's call a spade a spade..

My friend and school mate is going to be charged to court for a crime he did not commit.

I just got in contact with the family of my friend Maduakor ChukwuNonso who was arrested on Monday 20th of August for selling of Restricted drugs without prescription . Apparently he was approached by policemen who pretended to be accident victims. He refused to sell the drug, but they pleaded with him continuously till he eventually felt sympathy against his better judgement.The moment he sold the drug he was arrested by the same men.While he made a mistake by giving in to his compassion,he is not guilty of the crimes being pinned against him by these men. Are they not equally guilty for coercing him to sell by their persistence and constant begging after they had being rightly refused.


After a visit to where he's been held custody, these were Nonso's words....

"I just started my pharmacy internship at 'Oxpharm', a pharmacy in Festac about two months ago. Last week Monday (20/08/12), I was doing my job when a middle aged man walked into the pharmacy and made complaints of persistent generalized body pains and difficulty with sleeping as a result of an accident he had some weeks back. The individual then specifically requested for the drug Rohypnol® (Flunitrazepam). I then asked for the Doctors prescription. The individual said he had none but begged that he really needs the drug to help his condition because all others did not give him relief. I still refused but after much begging and after profiling the individual as one who was not at risk to addiction to the drug, I sold the individual 1 satchet of drug and counselled him to see a doctor. After which I recorded the purchase of the drug in the Pharmacy's register.

About 3-5 minutes after the individual left the pharmacy,hefty men numbering up to five in mufti who did not identify themselves stormed into the pharmacy and pounced on me (Nonso), rough-handled me and took me to Festac police station.".....Nonso


Now he has been charged with conspiring with some men involved in a rape/murder case which was committed several weeks earlier(July 21 to be specific) prior to the sale of the drug.
Also, the offenders did not identify him as the one who supplied them with the drug used to sedate the victim. If he is to be charged then he should be charged rightly and not for something he knows nothing about. If the killers say he is not the one, who are the police to make him go to court and get him sentenced because of bail money. Please spread this. My friend's future is at stake here. Show some empathy.

His family have attempted to post bail but instead are being extorted by these Godless men of the police. Several times they have being told he will be released but instead the police have gone ahead to place these malicious and false charges on my friend just because of their own corruption and greed.
Please if you are someone who truly believes in justice , please spread the word or better still get involved.
#FreeNonsoMaduakor

Doesn't matter,, as far as he gave in to something he shouldn't have.. If he was trying to help he could have driven the guy to a hospital to go get prescription... Here in the USA the police lure child sex offenders through Internet, only to charge them later and imprison them..

The day ignarance becomes an acceptable defence under the law, thats the day I would start to havve mercy on him..

PHARMACY 101: Thou shall not sell prescription drugs to ANYBODY without a valid Doctors Prescription..

PHARMACY 101 (section 2): Thou shall not sell drugs with fatal overdose side effect to minors..



He isnt guilty of Murder, but of definitely of 'willfull misconduct', and 'negligible homicide'.. The Prosecution could also file charges of 'negligible manslaughter' against him, but definitely not MURDER 1.

I already knew the investigative process involving the capture of Late Cynthia's murderers will not go unscripted by the Nigerian police who are so "Good" in their jobs they could also work as part-time script-writers for Nollywood movies. grin

Nigerian police are bunch of incompetent and untrained fools, i said it before that parading these medicine sellers as murderers is the height of police inhumanity to Nigerians. Since there is no proof that the pharmacists collaborated in the murder why charge them for a crime they did not commit. What i expected police to do is to raid every other pharmacy store and arrest those selling prescription drugs without doctors recommendation.
I advice Police to charge the pharmacists with the proper crime they committed or get ready to prove there case beyond all doubt.

If its true then i think it's very irresponsible of the police. While they're at it, why not also charge the hotel owners for failing to check and register the ID'S of the murderers when they booked in or the Ribena seller for not issuing a receipt for the Ribena they used in killing her. Its just stupid to charge someone for Murder for this, not even manslaughter, Murder! Very very stupid angry

I hate 2 see an innocent person suffer unjustly.. Let the position of our law be knwn on this. Wt I think u shld b calling for is an interpretation of Nonso's role if its against our laws and wt is the penalty for his actions.. Eg if he ws negligient in selling controlled drugs without prescription, wt is the penalty.

There might be more than meet the eyes in this case, Pharmacists have been strongly warned not to sell controlled drugs without doctors prescription. Compassion might not be excused.
You might need to check with an experienced Lawyer that can make a case for him. Social Media won't help at this time because it is through the same medium the poor girl died

I don't support him being labeled as an accomplice if he didn't sell the drugs to cynthia's killers but that doesn't change the fact that he didn't do the right thing.

Yeah he was being sympathetic and all, now how many more people is he willing to help in that same manner? What's the guarantee that if another person comes crying and begging, he (nonso) wouldn't sell without prescription all in the name of sympathy?

There are so many ways to help people without doing the right thing in a wrong way, btw its not news that many pharmacists sell such drugs without a doctors prescription, maybe nonso was just unlucky.

Again I ask; wt is the penalty for selling controlled drugs to a person without prescription? I knw dt constitute negligience. Any member of the pharmacitcal association of nigeria here shld pls tell us so that we knw what this negligient young Man shld be facing as penalty. Who shld reprimand him? The police or the association in which he is a member?

Firstly I think selling of the drug is illegal whether you are selling out of pity or sub rosa. Mere being in possesion of it may not be illicit for a pharmacist, that was why the police got him to sell the drugs instead of searching the drug store. A case relating to murder is a very serious one and I doubt if they will grant him bail.He will be charged for aid and abet, criminal offence. Like someone suggested ab initio, get a lawyer.
Re: Nonso-Maduakor Wrongfully Charged For Cynthia's Murder by Babalegba(m): 3:56pm On Aug 29, 2012
@ the OP Just because a wrong doer is your friend does not make the wrong right. Do you feel any sympathy for the victim at all. The police must have some information and knew where to look for the supplier of the drug to the murderous gang who are plainly animals no matter what tribe they are from. I got really angry reading your post, typical Nigerian me and my family mentality. The victim was also a friend to somebody yet those waste holes got drugs from some lowlife pharmacist and put her through hell just because of money.

I must say, GEJ is right about Nigeria not being ready for state police yet. You could imagine how much the virus of corruption will spread in the police force if it was segregated to the state level when stuff like this is already hapenning in the federal level. May God help Nonso & us all, amen.

two had their faces covered and two didnt. that got me thinking and when I heard the one wearing glasses is a pharmacist, I understood why.


the Nigerian police should stop making innocent people suffer. Even though Nonso cant be termed innocent, his crime doesnt warrant what he must be going through.


How many other people are facing the same problem?? how many are being labelled what they are not? our prisons must be filled with many Nonsos. sad angry
