October 20, 2023 • 1 min read

15 Endsars protesters are still currently detained in Lagos Prisons, three years after their arrest, Amnesty International has said.

Another eight protesters, Segun Adeniyi, Onuorah Odih, Jeremiah Lucky, Gideon Ikwujomah, Irinyemi Olorunwanbe, Quadri Azeez, Olamide Lekan and Sadiq Riliwan, according to the organisation, are currently detained without trial in Ikoyi Medium Security Correctional Centre in Lagos since 2020.

One of those detained, Daniel Joy-Igbo, a Beninois, arrested in Lagos in October 2020, told Amnesty International that he had been detained at the Bar Beach Police Station, the State Criminal Investigation Department in Panti, and at a SARS facility in Ikeja.

“Since my arraignment in December 2020, I have been locked up in the prison without trial. Since then, there has been no adjourned date for my case. I have not been taken to court since December 2020,” he said

Sodiq Adigun, also arrested in October 2020, who was previously detained at the State Criminal Investigation Department in Panti said: “Let the government release me. I have been detained since 2020 without trial. I am innocent. My life has been shattered. I need my liberty.”
