An Ikeja chief magistrate’s court on Thursday, August 22, discharged and acquitted six persons arrested during the 2020 #EndSARS protest.
The defendants are Daniel Joyinbo, 31, Adigun Sodiq, 28, Kehinde Shola, 32, Salaudeen Kamilu, 29, Sodiq Usseni, 33 and Azeez Isiaka, 34.
The defendants had in a plea bargain agreement, pleaded guilty to a count charge of breach of the public peace preferred against them by the Lagos State Government.
After listening to the plea bargain agreement, the magistrate, Bola Osunsanmi, found the defendants guilty and convicted them of the offence.
She, however, cautioned and freed them, adding that they had spent almost four years in custody.
