Disturbing Incident in Sagamu: Unlawful Detention and Threats Against 16-Year-Old Boy Sparks Outrage

​

A shocking incident unfolded in Sagamu yesterday as a 16-year-old boy, visiting his uncle, found himself in an unimaginable situation. My son was reported missing after leaving to buy fuel, prompting panic among family members.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that the minor had been detained in a cell at a local station. Disturbingly, instead of protection, my son faced threats of violence and incarceration unless he confessed to being involved in fraudulent activities (Yahoo), solely based on owning an iPhone.

This appalling treatment of a minor has left the family, especially the parents, deeply distressed. “The actual criminals roam free,” said Mrs Temitope, the boy’s parent. “I am really tired of the unjust targeting of innocent individuals, particularly minors.”

The family is now seeking answers, justice, and immediate action to ensure the safety and well-being of the son. Legal representation has been engaged to protect the minor’s rights and challenge the unjust accusations.

The incident has sparked outrage within the community and beyond, drawing attention to issues of unlawful detention and abuse of power. Advocates for justice and children’s rights are expressing concern over the handling of the situation and calling for a thorough investigation.

Local community leaders and organizations are rallying behind the family, offering support and demanding accountability from the authorities. This incident raises important questions about the treatment of minors and the need for reform within the local law enforcement system.

The family encourages the public to stay informed about the situation and emphasizes the importance of upholding the rights and dignity of every individual, regardless of age.
