After several days of detention, the Yaba Magistrate court has finally granted bail to detained #EndSARS protester, Eromosele Adene, in the sum of N1m.
The magistrate ruled against an application filed by the policemen attached to the State Criminal Investigation Department seeking to remand Adene for an extra 30 days.
Eromosele’s lawyer, Tunde Jinadu explained on Tuesday that his client has been granted bail.
Jinadu had asked the court to grant his client bail on medical ground.
The policemen had last week arrested Eromosele in Ikeja and taken him to the police command headquarters and then transferred him to the Area F Command before detaining him at the SCID, Panti. He was last Monday flown to Abuja and detained for seven days before being brought back to Lagos on Sunday.
However, rather than charge him, the policemen secretly approached a Magistrate, O.A Salau, without the consent of his lawyer and applied for a remand order to detain him for an extra 30 days.
The Sparklight news had also reported that Eromosele was detained for more than 24hours while security operatives barred the campaigner’s family members and other supporters from the courtroom.
