That thier\u00a0 travails started on the 3rd and 4th day of October, 2023 respectively when they were arrested by the Police\u00a0 on alleged connection of the Applicants to the death of one Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad.<\/p>\n

On the 4th day of October, 2023 the Commissioner of Police sought for an order in the Magistrate Court, holden at Yaba to remand them\u00a0 for 30 days.<\/p>\n

Chief Magistrate Adeola Olatunbosun granted the Police application to remand them for only 21 days in the custody of the Police.<\/p>\n

The 21 days remand order granted by the Chief Magistrate Olatunbosun had since lapsed on the 26th day of October, 2023 and the order has not been renewed.<\/p>\n

Consequently the Applicants continued arrest, detention and restriction of thier right to liberty and freedom of movement have infringed on thier fundamental rights as\u00a0 citizens of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

They have not been indicted in anyway whatsoever in the death of the said Ilerioluwa Aloba a.k.a Mohbad.<\/p>
