A magistrate court in Yaba, Lagos State has set November 17 for the bail hearing of Eromosele Adene, an EndSARS campaigner after the police asked to detain him for 30 days.
Adene was arraigned before the magistrate court today on charges bordering on criminal incitement, cyberstalking as well as provoking a breach of public peace.
He was returned to Lagos on Sunday night to be arraigned in court on Monday.
Adene was arraigned at the magistrate court, Yaba on Monday, having been detained for eight days already.
Speaking to newsmen, Tunde Jinadu, lawyer to the accused, condemned Adene’s transfer to Abuja without the knowledge of neither his families nor counsel, saying, “This sharp practice of the police needs to stop.
“We were not served. We were not called that he was being brought to SCID. An ACP told me they didn’t know where he was. This sharp practice of the police needs to stop. They just wanted to shut us out. That was how they flew him to Abuja last week without my knowledge.
“Luckily, some good people informed me that he (Eromosele) had been taken to a magistrate court. Thank God I have a car. I was able to quickly arrive at the court. “
Jinadu, however, revealed that his timely arrival at the court prevented Eromosele from being detained for 30 more days.
“The police asked for an order to remand the activist for 30 more days,” he said.
Adene was reportedly arrested at his home on November 7 for participating in the #EndSars protest and was later transferred to Abuja without the knowledge of his family.
