The Lagos magistrate court Yaba has grated Eromosele Adene, one of the drivers of the #endsars protests, bail this morning.
His bail was set at a million naira with two sureties of the same amount. It was determined that one of his sureties must own property & they must both be taxpayers.

The court grounds were heavily guarded by policemen, who prevented members of the public and pressmen from gaining access into the courthouse.


Later in the day, when the case commenced, the Police prosecutor requested that the magistrate grant the Police a remand order to keep Eromosele in custody while he’s investigated for acts including criminal incitement under Nigeria’s Terrorism Act. Eromosele’s counsel in a rebuttal describes the application filed by the Police as “a threat to his fundamental rights”.
He went ahead to say, that the Police have had enough time to investigate the case since he’s spent 10 days in custody already.
He says his freedom should not depend on the ability of the Police to speedily investigate the case against him.
The court ruled in favor of Eromosele.
