We are happy to announce the release of these two men who have been imprisoned since 2022; one arrested because he was wearing slippers similar to those of the complainant, and the other arrested by the police during a raid while he was hawking. Their ordeal came to our attention in January 2024 during a visitation to the Medium Security Correctional Centre where our legal team in Lagos, interviewed them and discovered that, despite having been arrested since 2022, they had never been taken to court. Immediately, our legal team took up their cases and began tracking the matter at the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), eventually tracing the case to the court of Justice Coker. It was not until March 2024 that we made our first appearance in the matter. From then on, we continued appearing before Justice Coker on more than seven occasions for trial and filed several applications urging the court to strike out the case despite all the adjournments, and the prosecution failing to produce a single witness. Early in 2025, we were informed that Justice Coker was on official assignment and that the matter would be transferred to another court. Once again, our legal team began the painstaking process of tracking the case to determine where it had been transferred. We eventually discovered that the matter had been transferred to the court of Justice Oshodi. We appeared before Justice Oshodi for the first time in March 2025. The charges were read to the defendants, and both men pleaded NOT GUILTY. At the close of the prosecution's case, we filed a No Case Submission, arguing that the prosecution had failed to establish a case requiring the defendants to answer and the case was subsequently adjourned for ruling. Today, the wait is finally over! The Court delivered its ruling in our favour, upheld our No Case Submission, and consequently discharged and acquitted both men. What makes this victory even more profound is that throughout this nearly four-year ordeal, not a single member of either defendant's family appeared in court. No other lawyer also represented them. They endured years in custody largely unseen and unheard. Today, they walk free. May justice always prevail. #AccessToJustice #Nigeria #Probono
