Nigerian actress and media host Biola Adebayo has sparked widespread attention with a recent interview featuring the parents of a young man facing a death sentence.
In the viral video, the elderly couple shared the heartbreaking story of their son, Segun Olowookere, who was arrested 14 years ago for stealing a chicken. Despite the long time that has passed, bail was denied because he remains on the prison’s death row.
Segun, the couple’s only child, is still awaiting execution.
Following the viral interview, Biola announced that Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, where the case is being handled, has vowed to investigate the matter.
The actress also expressed her gratitude to Governor Adeleke for his concern and efforts toward securing the young man’s release.
