Lagos Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice Moyosore Onigbanjo SAN has advised the courts to immediately free 253 persons arrested by the Police in connection with the #EndSARS protest in the state.

Onigbanjo said the state’s Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) had assessed the temporary charges filed against them by the police and found no prima facie evidence that they committed any crime.
