My Brother, Arrested at 14, Has Been Detained in Kirikiri Since 2023 Without Charge

My Brother, Arrested at 14, Has Been Detained in Kirikiri Since 2023 Without Charge

A woman is appealing for help after her younger brother was arrested at age 14 during a police raid in 2023. The family only learned he was missing when they found out he was held at a local station and later moved to Kirikiri Medium Security Custodial Centre in Mile 2. She says a police officer testified in court that he committed no offence, yet the case has been repeatedly adjourned. The family was asked to pay ₦150,000 for bail but cannot afford it. Now nearly 17, he has spent his teenage years behind bars. The family is urgently seeking support to secure his release.

Do we have any official paperwork or public record confirming he's been held without charge since last year?

You're right, we should share his story widely, write to human rights groups, and organize local petitions for a fair hearing.

It's worrying that a 14-year-old can be held for months in Kirikiri without any formal charge or court date.

Locking up a teenager for months without any formal charge does more harm than good and erodes trust in justice.

Families should reach out to human rights groups or legal aid clinics to demand a proper hearing and status update.
