Barely six months ago, a 17-year-old girl Kemisola Oguniyi was arrested and illegally detained at the Surulere prison in Akure Ondo state capital over ENDSARS allegations.

The situation of Kemisola is a true reflection of what transpired across different parts of the country. Besides, the Lekki toll gate massacre overshadowed the injustice young Nigerians suffered in the hand security agents.

In a report by FIJ, her parents are saying the illegal detention of their child has caused more wreck and tears for the family.

On October 24, 2020, Kemisola was arrested and whisked away to the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID in Ondo, while going to get drugs for her sick mother. She was accused of having connections with ENDSARS protesters who burned the All Progressive Congress (APC) secretariat in the state. She was charged with arson, among other offences.

Before then, on October 21, rampaging youth had attacked the Akure APC secretariat and set the edifice ablaze. The youth claiming to be #EndSARS protesters had defied the 24-hour curfew imposed by the state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, to mount roadblocks across the streets of Akure.

Following the incident, security agents in Ondo state had indiscriminately raided the streets of Akure in the name of arresting the culprits. Kemisola and others were arrested and remanded in the process.

Kemisola’s detention was not known to the general public until Twitter users, especially members of the RevolutionNow group, raised an alarm that the teenage girl was languishing in prison.

“She was not an EndSARS protester; she never protested,” Mrs Felicia Ogunniyi, Kemisola’s mother, told FIJ. “We’ve spent a lot to secure her release but we couldn’t; her father lost his job over her matter and we’ve lost all we had on this case. Please help us.”

In a further submission, Kemisola’s father, Rotimi Ogunbiyi, said the case has wrecked him financially and mentally. He added that he has spent every dime he has on the matter.

“In fact, it has been a while since we last visited her in prison because we have nothing to offer her,” he said.
