An Ondo State High Court has granted bail in the sum of N10 million and a surety in like sum to an 18-year-old #EndSARS protester Kemisola Ogunniyi.

Before she was granted bail on Tuesday Kemisola had been remanded in the custody of Surulere Prison, in Ondo West Local Government Area of Ondo State, for over eight months.

 

She gave birth in prison on June 16.

 

Alongside three others, Kemisola was accused of razing the All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat in Akure during the #EnsSARS protest in October 2020.

 

Kemisola and the other protesters were charged with arson, riotous assembly, stealing and malicious damage.

 

Justice Omolara Adejumo granted Kemisola bail while ruling on the bail application on Tuesday.

 

Adejumo ordered that Kemisola be released from prison to attend the naming ceremony of her child. She is to return to prison after the naming ceremony to fulfil her bail conditions.

 

Briefing journalists after the ruling, counsel to the defendants Tope Temokun said Kemisola would be released following the court order.
