Lawyer Seeks Urgent Court Hearing as Ondo Amotekun Officers Declared ‘Wanted’ Face Prolonged Rights Violations During Festive Period
Human rights lawyer Tope Temokun has requested an urgent intervention by the Ondo State Chief Judge to accelerate hearings in three fundamental rights suits involving officers of the Ondo State Security Network Agency (Amotekun Corps) who were allegedly unlawfully declared “wanted.” The cases, initially stalled after the court failed to sit, were adjourned to January 2026, a delay Temokun says would force the officers into hiding throughout the Christmas and New Year period. He argues that pending motions seeking interim relief are necessary to protect the applicants’ constitutional rights to liberty and freedom of movement, warning that continued delay amounts to an ongoing violation of their fundamental rights.
