In a case that highlights the troubling issue of wrongful detention by Nigerian police, the Headfort Foundation for Justice has intervened to secure the release of Dele Lawal, a 35-year-old vulcanizer and motorcycle rider from Ogun State.

On May 2nd, 2024, Lawal was on his way to his friend’s house when he was arrested by police officers and taken into custody. Despite being thoroughly searched and having no incriminating evidence found, Lawal was questioned about his links to a person called “Mighty” and his alleged involvement in a cult group – allegations he vehemently denied.

Lawal was then charged and arraigned in court on May 13th, 2024, along with two other individuals he had never met before. He was accused of conspiracy to commit a crime, belonging to an unlawful society, and breach of peace.

Though granted bail, Lawal was unable to meet the conditions due to financial constraints, and his phone had been confiscated by police, cutting him off from his family’s assistance. Lawal was forced to spend nearly two months in prison, despite a complete lack of evidence tying him to any wrongdoing.

It was not until July 5th, 2024, that the Headfort Foundation for Justice took on Lawal’s case. Their lawyer made an application to the court, arguing that the charges should be struck out as there was no evidence linking Lawal to the alleged offenses. The court agreed, and the charges against Lawal were dismissed.

“Dele Lawal’s case is a troubling example of the abuse of power by Nigerian police and the violation of the rights of innocent citizens,” said Amara Nwankwo, the director of the Headfort Foundation for Justice. “We will continue to fight against such injustices and ensure that prosecutions are based on credible evidence, not mere speculation.”
