One of the young and vibrant Nigerian youths, one of the prominent voices and frontliners of the #EndSARS protests, Eromosele Adene who was arrested few weeks ago in Lagos and taken to Abuja for interrogation and detention for planning another demonstration has been arraigned in a Lagos court.
Adene was returned from Abuja to Lagos on Sunday night to appear before a Lagos Magistrate court in Yaba after being initially moved to Abuja for interrogation and detention.
He was charged with criminal incitement, cyber stalking, provoking breach of public peace and conduct likely to cause breach of peace.
Tunde Jinadu, his counsel, berated the police for seeking an order to detain Adene for another 30 days after initial detention for nine days in Abuja and Lagos.
The lawyer stated that the police should allow the court play its role in deciding the case against the activist.
He said, “The court adjourned the application for remand till tomorrow.
“We are surprised that having gone through what he has gone through from one police commissioner to another, from one cell to the other, regardless of not considering his health circumstances.
“The police had concluded investigation in Abuja and file has been sent to legal. We are surprised that another remand is filed to court.
“Why not charge the gentleman to court instead of going from one remand to another.
