Four others (Abdullateef Ademola Onaolapo, Uthman Opeyemi Adelabu, Oluwafemi Ola Kunle, Okoyemi Tajudeen) were not brought before the court owing to discrepancies in their names.
According to Olajengbesi, he was only granted access to his clients last Friday after which he observed that some of the names he previously listed in the court processes, were nicknames of the applicants.
However, Justice Obiora Egwuatu granted the request by the counsel of the detained applicants Pelumi Olajengbesi to enable him to amend the court processes to reflect their (applicants’) real names.
