Tales of an unemployed youth

[#AiForJustice @citizen_gavel]

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.

I’m fully aligned with that theory that African teams are being served alcohol during the hydration break. Especially the one in the 70th minute.

Nigeria, a country battling with poverty, bad roads, and unstable electricity, is celebrating a young man they killed for being gay.

Hilary Ikechukwu, a promising 23-year-old fresh graduate, was reportedly tied on both hands and thrown from a three-storey building by a group of homophobes. Even during his funeral, these people gathered outside his family's home dancing and shouting homophobic slurs as you can see in this video.

Stories like this are why Pride exists — to remind people that every life deserves dignity and safety. Rest in peace, Hilary 🕊️

Israel killed three journalists, including a CBS News contributor, the latest attacks in Gaza despite a U.S.-backed ceasefire that began in October.

Israel has killed about 220 journalists in Gaza since October 2023, according to Reporters Without Borders. https://t.co/VZ2u8kcJio

This person I haven't spoken to since 2018, reached out to me that his mom was sick. I sympathized with him. He asked me to send him 200k for treatment. Sir? How? I ignored. Checked FB this afternoon and saw this and I am furious! What is this emotional blackmail?!

I have an even better idea that might sound crazy but hear me out…just cast African actors, but more specifically African actors from the region the movie is about.

I'm just a girl, standing in front of a Hollywood dialect coach for a movie set in Africa, begging them to please just pick a country, any country, and stick to it.
