citizen_gavel Apparently our journalists are too lazy to find facts and investigate, designated magistrate courts are sitting to address this issue,i was before the court on friday and monday.Days before that 13 of my clients were released,with the combined efforts of AG ondo state and the CJ

citizen_gavel Later in the afternoon I was released without my car, so I went to the hospital and brought my fiancee to hospital hospital to pick up my car and proved to them where I was going to but they refused to release my car. There's no means of taking my lady to hospital today. Help me

citizen_gavel This is me while going to the hospital, they pushed me in their police cell where there is 23 people already without a space, we are fighting Corona. I can't see with my eyes and very down my body is in pain. They ask for 60k or they will take my car to Alahausa. Please help me

citizen_gavel I was abused and beaten by the Nigerian police DPO today at Isheri oshun police station. His name is Chike Ibe. I went to take my fiancee to hospital cos she was in their family house, police stopped and refused to let me go, then started beating & teargas me. They ceased my car

You guys were sitting funkeakindele case in court,the number of people in court were more than the number of people that was said they were in her house. I believed the court should do justice as well by arraigning the magistrate and everyone present in the court.
