The Road to the Gallows

Chikezie Onwumere

The Road to the Gallows centres on Zelum, who is caught in the web of a murder case and his sister, Yagazie, who sets out to prove her brother’s innocence to the “whole world.” The story mirrors the collapse of the criminal justice system in Nigeria and the suffocating uncertainty of the convicts awaiting execution. Told in a dense, precise diction, The Road to the Gallows is unflinching in its dissemination of truth to power.
