🥏 FRISBEE 3.0: 9 Girls. 9 Boys. Two Teams. One Game. One Champion! 🥏

On Monday, 24 August 2026, the energy was high as 18 teenagers came together for Frisbee Tournament 3.0, this time playing as 2 co-ed teams under the guidance of coach Lanre and coach Lauretta.

[Tokan Foundation @tokanfoundation]

From fast throws to close plays and plenty of cheering, the children brought their enthusiasm, competitiveness and team spirit to the field. 💪🏽

What started as a recreational activity in 2025 has grown into something the children genuinely look forward to.

[Tokan Foundation @tokanfoundation]

Here’s to more games, more laughter, more confidence and many more moments on the field! 🥏❤️

Frisbee 3.0 — and we’re just getting started!

Watch out for Frisbee Tournament 4.0 in December 2026.

Big thanks to Aunty Mobola for another succesful event!

These were their children, boys they had been separated from for years, with little understanding of what was happening with their cases or when they would come home.

In July, CRJJC met the children at the NCoS Borstal Training Institute, Adigbe. We began tracing their matters

across the courts.

For one of the boys, we discovered that his case had already been struck out in March 2026. Yet he remained in detention. We immediately applied for the release order, followed up on its issuance, paid the necessary costs for its transmission, and ensured it
