Court Sends Kunle Poly To Kirikiri Prison Over Idumota Clashes
A Chief Magistrate’s Court sitting in Yaba axis of Lagos has ruled that a chieftain of the National Union of Road Transport Worker (NURTW), Adekunle Lawal, popularly called Kunle Poly, be remanded at the Kirikiri correctional centre pending when allegations leveled against him on the clashes that occurred in Idumota would be determined.
The judge said that Kunle Poly should be remanded at the centre, as allegations brought against him on the clashes that claimed lives and resulted in the destruction of property were yet to be proven untrue.
Kunle Poly was remanded on Monday during the court proceedings, barely two days after the Nigerian Police granted him bail following expiration of a 30-day custody appeal granted to the law enforcement agency.
