18 years old #EndSARS protester Emisola Ogunniyi, who recently gave birth in prison, has been granted a N10 million bail.
Ogunniyi, who was two months pregnant when she was arrested by soldiers in Akure, Ondo State’s capital, with three others following the violence that erupted in the aftermath of the October 2020 #EndSARS protests, gave birth to a baby boy on June 16, 2021. She was accused of being one of those who set fire to the All Progressives Congress (APC) state secretariat.
On Tuesday, June 22, a judge in an Ondo State High Court granted her N10 million bail and a surety in the same amount but ordered that she be allowed to attend her child’s naming ceremony before fulfilling her bail condition.

According to the Daily Trust, Ogunniyi, who was released from Surulere Prison in Ondo East Local Government on Tuesday afternoon, is on her way to Akure, where her temporary freedom will be ratified by Justice Omolara Adejumo.
