The Ondo State High Court in Akure Tuesday granted bail to 18-year-old Kemisola Ogunniyi, who recently gave birth in prison while being detained in connection with the October 2020 #EndSARS protest.
This comes exactly nine months after she was arrested on October 22, 2020, and subsequently remanded in prison with about two-month-old pregnancy.
Her lawyer, Tope Temokun, spoke with our reporter after earlier confirming the development to journalists in Akure on Tuesday.
“She has been granted bail by the
court. We are running against time for the baby not to be named in prison.“We are happy that it is victory at last. For the bail conditions, I don’t think it is something we cannot meet.
“What is important to us is that Kemisola will be out of prison maybe in the next one hour. We will go to prison and bring her to court today and from there we will take her home,” Mr Temokun said in a video clip shared to his Facebook wall on Tuesday.
