Court grants #EndSARS promoter, Eromosele Adene, bail after 10 days in detention

Must read

After 10 days in detention, in which time he cooled his heels with security operatives in Abuja, #EndSARS campaigner, Eromosele Adene has been granted bail in Lagos.

Eromz, as he is popularly known, was granted bail on Tuesday with the bail set at N1 million.

He was arrested after operatives tricked his sister, playing the card of religion pretending to be members of her church wanting to deliver a package.

A Magistrate court in Yaba, rejected a request by the police for an order to detain him for another 30 days, to conclude investigations into the allegations against the defendant.

Counsel to the defendant, Mr Adeshina Ogunlana, argued that the facts were not strong enough to support further remand of the defender.

The magistrate said it was important that Eromosele’s fundamental right not be infringed upon in the interest of justice.
