ENDSARS: CDHR Calls For Release Of Baby delivered In Prison

 

ENDSARS– The Ondo State branch of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights has called for the immiduate release of the baby delivered in the prison by Kemisola Ogunniyi, a victim of  indiscriminate arrest in ondo state during the EndSARS protest.

 

A release by the media office of the Branch Chairman, Comrade Alfred Olorunwo (aka Black)noted that there is no justification to detain a newly born in the prison for committing no offence. The statement noted that the mother of the baby was arrested while running errands for his mother and had since been kept at Surulere prison in Ondo town.

 

 

The young lady who was pregnant at the time of her arrest gave birth to her baby last Tuesday. The organisation therefore called for the review of her case as there was neither any evidential justification for her arrest nor a particular reason why a new born be kept in prison. If the authority has any charge against the baby, it should be laid bare as the organisation will not spare any move to galvanize the release of Kemisola and her baby.
