Idumota clashes: Kunle Poly remanded in Kirikiri prison

Chief Magistrate’s Court in Lagos’ Yaba axis has ordered that Adekunle Lawal, also known as Kunle Poly, a leader of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), be remanded at the Kirikiri correctional center pending the outcome of the allegations leveled against him in the Idumota clashes.

The judge said that Kunle Poly should be remanded at the center, 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 the expiration of a 30-day custody appeal granted to the law enforcement agency
