Kunle Edun, SAN

Bar leader and Senior advocate of Nigeria, Kunle Edun, SAN has described as shameful the Prosecution and detention of minors for treason.
In a statement on Saturday, the former Publicity Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association said “In better climes the prosecuting counsel involved in this aberration would be facing professional disciplinary hearing and directed to provide evidence of the young boys charged to Court who are fathers and university graduates.

“Very shameful indeed. We do not need shameless liars in the legal profession. Inspite of clear evidence to even the blind, a lawyer will be embarrasing the legal profession on television should call for serious concern by the NBA.

“I completely agree with the erudite submission of my emeritus President @⁨Joseph Daudu SAN⁩ and advise that the AGF enters a nolle in the matter. Let the children go back to their parents, having been unlawfully detained for more than 3 months. The Police officers involved in this global show of shame should be issued query by the Police Service Commission. They are not fit and proper persons to be in the Force. Police ought to be a civil and humane institution, and not a law-breaking institution. They should go after the arrogant and spoilt politicians who can make hardworking Nigerians disappear from the face of the earth.”
