One of the promoters of the #EndSARS protests, Eromosele Adene, an entertainer, entrepreneur and philanthropist has been arraigned in court today.
Among the many charges against him are:
- Criminal incitment
- Cyber stalking
- Provoking breach of public peace
- Conduct likely to cause the breach of peace.
Eromosele was arrested on the 7th of November from his family home in Ikeja, Lagos.
This runs contrary contrary to initial claims that he was picked up at the protest grounds:
20.10.2020@I_Am_Ilemona “While arraigning Eromosele Adene today, @PoliceNG lied that he was arrested at a protest. Meanwhile, this is a video of him being arrested from his home If they can lie so blatantly despite the abundance of video evidence then I dunno again”
His friends and sister say he was taken to Abuja and later returned to Lagos and charged to court.
Reports say that the magistrate before whom he appeared said he was constrained to adjourn his case to today, 17th of November because she felt threatened by the media and the shear presence of the youths, the “Sorosoke generation.”
Notwithstanding, there was still a heavy presence of the youths outside the magistrate court today.
One of Eromosele’s counsels, Orji Ama Chinedu was on hand to give him emotional support.
Equally present was a large team of armed security operatives. Unfortunately, the media was not allowed within the court premises.
Eromosele’s mother was also present and said that the older youth were proud of what this generation were doing.
