UNILAG: Protest successfully forces Release of 13 Unlawfully Detained Students' protesters


In the very hour of 8:00 am on Thursday 6 April, 2017 over one hundred students from different tertiary institutions led by SAVE UNILAG COALITION staged a united protest at the Special Offenses Mobile Court inside Lagos State Task Force Building located at Bolade, Oshodi, Lagos state. The mobile court is a special creation of the Lagos State government – a government bent on literarily whipping to death poor working class families with draconian anti-policies.
The April 6 protest was to demand the release of Adeyeye Femi and 12 other students' protesters who were brought before the court on that day for continuation of trial on false charges.
The 13 were arrested on Friday 31st March 2017 and hurriedly arraigned before the Special offenses Mobile Court on a Saturday morning on spurious charges. They were subsequently detained at Kirikiri prison. Their arrest sparked outrage especially when it turned out that the charges were completely false!
