HELP OLUWADAMILARE OLAMILEKAN GET OUT OF PRISON

Hello, my name Hesed Sign, I live in Nigeria and I am writing to you with tears of pain and sorrow in regards to the recent happening in Lagos, Nigeria regarding to a young boy named Oluwadamilare Olamilekan who is currently in prison.

Oluwadamilare Olamilekan is a 16 year old boy who lives in the beautiful city of Lagos, amidst the daily hustle and bustle. He used to stay with his brother in a small house while trying to make a living in Lagos. 

Unfortunately for him, he was raided by police officers a couple of weeks ago in Lagos and since he couldn't pay the bail fees, himself, he was kept in Maroko Police Station for over 2 weeks.

I met Oluwadamilare Olamilekan and 4 other kids in Maroko Police Station on the 22nd of April 2024 and they told me their story on how they were raided and how they couldn't afford to pay the bail fee.

When I heard their stories, I became interested because I couldn't fathom why children would be illegally held and kept in a police cell for over 2 weeks just because they couldn't pay the money the police asked them to pay.

For better context, being raided by police officers in Nigeria means being forcefully taken to the police station having done nothing.

It happens when police officers want to make money by extorting innocent citizens.

I took up the case, got my lawyers and before I knew what was happening, Oluwadamilare Olamilekan calls me on the 4th of May 2024 to tell me that himself and others were sent out of Lagos to Osun State after being warned by the police never to step their feet in Lagos.

I thought it was a joke until I asked him to find a place where he could call and do a video call with me in order to confirm what was happening. He did so and it was true.

Himself and over 500 youths were were sent out of Lagos, they stated that the police wanted to shoot them but an officer opted that they take everyone's phone instead.

They were warned to leave and to never step foot in Lagos State ever again.

I asked himself and others to make videos showing their whereabouts and they did thanks to the help of the lady who lended them her phone.

I made a couple of phone calls and got the media involved and it was everywhere in the news.

I was able to get himself and the 4 others I met in the police station back to Lagos to continue their lives.

The Lagos State police denied their claims refuting what happened please find attached relevant links:

I also included a Google Drive link with video and audio evidences of when I was called by Oluwadamilare Olamilekan the morning they were chased out of Lagos State, Nigeria.

P.S: I did cover my face in the video because if it does go out, the Nigerian government would come for me because this is me exposing what goes on in the country and police brutality all over again.

The last time anything was done in regards to police brutality was in 2020 during the #EndSars movement and since then, we've heard nothing else.

Protests cannot be held in regards to this issue as lives would most definitely be at stake and no one would want to relive the horrors of the 2020 #EndSars movement.

Due to the situation and the uproar the news caused, Oluwadamilare Olamilekan was charged to court and is currently in prison.

A 16 year old rotting away in the horrific Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison with criminals for just existing and being a poor boy who just wanted to live peacefully in his country.

Despite the pain, sadness and horrors he's experiencing, Oluwadamilare Olamilekan has been able to draw strength from the regular visits, the lobe and support I and my team have been able to show him.

So I'm asking and pleading that you do come to his aid by assisting us in ensuring he is released, safe, and healthy.

I've been able to do what I can but the legal fees, cost of transportation, ensuring he's healthy, safe, mentally stable because he is currently traumatized due to this whole experience, is beyond me.

So I ask you to please support Oluwadamilare Olamilekan in this struggle by helping him get out prison, build a decent life for himself where he can become a child in peace.

The legal fees for Oluwadamilare Olamilekan is $3,000. 

To get him an accommodation in a place that is well secured for a year costs $2,000.

Living expenses for Oluwadamilare Olamilekan for a year would cost about $2,000.

GoFundMe doesn't work in Nigeria but I do have a PayPal that can receive payment in regards to this situation.
