A/HRC/7/3/Add.4 page 35 A. Death row 55. The 110 condemned prisoners are detained in four different cells. Similar to other prisoners, they can leave their cells from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. However, they are not allowed to leave the vicinity of their buildings. Since a mass jailbreak in 2005 they are excluded from participating in recreational or vocational activities. Like other cells, death row cells are severely overcrowded and lack all basic facilities. 1. Building B/13 56. Anthony Machaku, aged 43. He has been a detainee on death row for 10 years. 57. Jeffry Ogidi, aged 65. He has been a detainee on death row for 10 years. 58. Ujochukwu Ngokmo, aged 34. He has been a detainee on death row for eight years. He requires eye surgery. 59.

Building A/3 61. Ishmalia Illaya, aged 27. In 2002, he was sentenced to death for murder. On 6 January 2007, he was sentenced to six lashes for the destruction of a mobile phone. According to the punishment book the medical officer did not deem him fit enough for the punishment. The lashing took place in the yard under the mango tree with a koboko (three-braided cow-hide whip). Mr. Illaya claims to have been punished for having smoked a cigarette and that, at the time of the incident, he had been taken immediately out of his cell and beaten by the warders. 62. Samson Nnumita, aged 97, Imo State. He was arrested in 1997, and convicted in 2003. At the time of the visit of the Special Rapporteur, he was in a very poor state of health. Since he was unable to walk, other detainees carried him to the door so that he could speak with the Special Rapporteur. 63. Uchennea Machukw. A detainee on death row, he was arrested in 1985, and convicted in 1995 in Owerri. 64. Obina Okoronkwo. A detainee on death row, he refers to the jail break on 17 July 2005, in which none of the condemned prisoners participated. The announcement by the President of a moratorium on death sentences in recent years had not led to commutations of sentences of condemned prisoners in Port Harcourt. 65. Ogbuna Chukw, aged 55, Ebonyi State. A detainee on death row, he was arrested in 1986 and sentenced to death on 21 May 1990. He has spent 17 years on death row.
