In 2015, Nnamdi Ochei relocated to his village, Idumuje-Ugboko, in Delta State from Abuja, where he was working as a petrol attendant. The 29-year-old quit his job so he could help his elder sister who was building a house supervise the project.
But two years after he returned to the village, Mr Ochei was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder. He was remanded in prison for three years while standing trial.
