Kabir, a native of Zamfara state resides in Abeokuta, Ogun state where he was arrested and arraigned for stealing in January 2024 without legal representation.
Upon his arraignment, the court granted him bail, but due to stringent condition, he couldn't perfect his bail so he remained in prison awaiting trial.
The court adjourned severally for the prosecution to produce their witness and prove the case of stealing against Kabir, but the prosecution failed to produce their witness. The Investigating Police Officer and the nominal complainants failed to show up in court for five months while Kabir languished in prison.
On May 24, 2024, our Lawyer stationed at our Abeokuta Mobile Office, applied to the court to strike out the case against Kabir for want of diligent prosecution and the court granted the application.
