Kemisola Ogunniyi, one of the four persons arrested and detained in the prison custody during EndSARS protest in Akure, the Ondo State capital, who was delivered of a baby boy on Wednesday last week, has been granted bail by the court.
Justice Omolara Adejumo of Ondo State High Court No. 10 sitting at Olokuta, Akure in her ruling granted the applicant bail in the sum of N10million with a surety in the like sum.
Kemisola, who was detained at the Surulere Correctional female facility in Ondo City, had an application filed on her behalf by her attorney, Tope Temokun, for her release having given birth to a baby boy in the facility.
There had been an outcry for the release of the applicant since she was delivered of a baby last Wednesday at the facility.
The applicant, with other three persons, was arraigned in court and charged with conspiracy to commit arson, riotous assembly, stealing and malicious damage and the substantive offences of arson, riotous assembly, stealing and malicious damage.
She was, however, able to meet the bail conditions and subsequently released with her baby boy who would be christened on Wednesday(tomorrow)at her parents’ residence at Aiyedun Quarters, Akure.
Meanwhile, the attorney would be filing application for the release on bail the other three accused persons who are currently in prison custody.
Kemisola and the other three persons were arrested and accused of torching the state Secretariat of All Progressives Congress (APC) along Oyemekun Road, Akure during the nationwide EndSARS protest in October 2020.
