Nigeria: Shoeless Night ... As Youths Rot Behind Bars

28 January 2015
book review

SHOELESS Night, a gripping and compelling story written by Oluwafemi Oloidi and published by Omojojolo Press, Nigeria, the 187-page book captures, in amazing details, the gruesome encounter of four exuberant youths in the hands of the Nigeria Police Force in Port Harcourt. It is a true-life story garnished with no fiction, no fabrication.

Written in a language that greases the pages with fluidity, comedic effects and hilarity, this outstanding literary piece overwhelms the reader with boisterous merriments of rib-cracking laughter. It contains a total of 33 chapters, the shortness of which makes it easier to connect one to the other. With this, continuity is maintained even for slow readers and the story can be effortlessly assimilated.
