"I was put in jail, even though I didn’t deserve it.” - Obasanjo recounts his prison experience

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday recounted his prison experience.      

The former President who was imprisoned in a Yola jail from 1995 till 1998 by the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, said he was happy while in prison.

Speaking at the 50th anniversary of the Bible Society of Nigeria held at the Muson Centre, Onikan, La‎gos, Obasanjo said, "When I was in prison, I had joy. I was always bubbly, teaching and preaching to other prisoners. ‎It was because of the joy I had found in God, although it can be said to be abnormal that one is in prison and is happy. I was put in jail, even though I didn’t deserve it.”
