According to reports reaching Oyogist.com, Kemisola Ogunniyi, the Nigerian Lady who put to birth in prison has been granted N10 million bail.

She was arrested in October 2020 during the EndSARS protest in Akure, Ondo state on grounds of being among those that razed the state secretariat of the All Progressive Congress (APC).

Ogunniyi, who was two months pregnant at the time of her arrest, gave birth to a baby boy on June 16, 2021.

On Tuesday, an Ondo High Court granted bail to Ogunniyi who had been detained at Surulere Prison in Ondo East Local Government Area of the state.

In his ruling, Justice Omolara Adejumo granted her a N10 million bail and a surety in like sum.

The judge, however, ordered the prison authorities to allow her go home for her child’s naming.

She held that the suspect can return to prison to fulfill her bail condition after the naming ceremony, which will hold on Wednesday.

She alongside other suspects were charged with arson, riotous assembly, stealing and malicious damage.
