The other suspects were Babadi Ajayi, 35; Abiodun Omoniyi, 68; Oyedapo Olaoluwa, 29; Sunday Olalere, 27; Dapo David, 26; and Akinyemi Tayo, 25.
He denied the allegation on behalf of himself and the other suspects. I proceeded to request the police authorities to admit them to bail. But the application was turned down by the police on grounds of"orders from above." As the police could not justify the continued incarceration of the suspects the police alleged that the violent rally convened by the APC in Ado Ekiti had resulted in the death of one Peter Akin while many others sustained varying degrees of injury.
No doubt, the gravity of the terrorism charge scared the other suspects. But Niyi Afuye dismissed the charge and described it as cheap blackmail designed to portray them as a bunch of dangerous criminals. His display of exceptional courage boosted the morale of other suspects. Niyi equally strengthened my resolve to deploy legal skills to take him and other suspects out of the lion's den.
