Two detained underage friends regained their freedom on Tuesday after spending nine months in prison in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital.
“The police arrested, charged them and got them remanded in prison, but stopped coming to court due to lack of evidence. So the magistrate had to strike out the case,” Mr Temokun told our reporter. Dismissing the theft allegation levelled against the teenagers as unfounded, Mr Temokun said a neighbour, who accused them of bringing things home without any source of income, instigated the police against them.
Mr Temokun said the police arrested the boys but chose not to charge them at any court in Ikole Ekiti “where their blind father lived, but were taken to Ado-Ekiti to be charged before a magistrate’s court who remanded them in prison since February 2021”.A detained #EndSARS protester, Moyinoluwa Olowoyo, was said to have discovered the two boys during his incarceration in the same prison.
“I followed the matter since the early hours of today, till the orders were signed by the magistrate, and the police went to produce them from the prison,” the lawyer stated on Tuesday. “We won’t have a just society for all until those who are not directly affected feel as enraged and outraged as those who are direct victims.”
This is sad, very sad.
