BREAKING: Court refuses bail application of remanded ‘Isese’ activist, Tani Olohun

Newstrends gathered that the court which sat in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, made this known in a ruling on Tuesday morning.

According to the court, the refusal of the bail application was premised on the fact that there was a high tendency that the applicant, Tani Olohun would jump bail if granted and that a substantial part of the application submitted by his counsel was plagiarised.

The spokesperson for the state police command, SP Okasanmi Ajayi, had said the command had no idea which court issued the warrant to arrest Tani Olohun.

Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore in August, also alleged that the Nigerian police arrested Tani Olohun with a fake warrant.

According to the candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2023 presidential election, the police also asked the state government to allow them to prosecute Tani Olohun without the involvement of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

Talolorun was on August 17 arraigned before a magistrate court in Ilorin and was further remanded till October 5.
