Justice for Matthew: UNIBEN Med Student’s Bail Hearing Set for June 3

The University of Benin Medical Student Association and the NIMSA South-South Region report that our colleague, Omatseye Matthew Utieyinoritseseola, has applied for bail at the Federal High Court 2 in Asaba. The hearing is scheduled for June 3, 2026. Matthew has been detained for over two months at the Delta State CID and three weeks at the Ogwashi-Uku Correctional Centre. His continued detention now threatens his Medical and Basic Clinical Sciences test on June 5. We respectfully urge the Honourable Judge to grant Matthew bail so he can sit his exam and continue his service to Nigeria. We appreciate the Dean of Medicine and all stakeholders for their support.
