Ibukun Ayodele, the 18-year-old girl detained over #EndSARS, has finally regained her freedom.
Ibukun and three other teenagers are standing trial for alleged arson and public disturbance.
On October 24, 2020, she was arrested and whisked to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Ondo while en route to visiting her cousin.

She was accused of having connections with #EndSARS protesters who burned the All Progressive Congress (APC) secretariat in the state and was charged with arson, among other offences.
As of October 2020, Ibukun was just 17 and three months pregnant, according to Iyabo Ayodele, her mother.
But as a result of the cruelty and torture by the soldiers and the distress of being held in the police cell and prison, Ibukun suffered a miscarriage that has left her in pain.
In June, the Ondo State High Court had granted bail to Ibukun, who lost her baby while in detention, after spending 10 months at the Surulere Prison in Akure, but FIJ understands the bail conditions were only met on Thursday.

FIJ had also reported how Kemisola Ogunbiyi, one of the teenage detainees in the Akure Prison, was delivered of a baby.
The birth of her child in detention triggered public outrage, with many Nigerians demanding her swift and unconditional release from detention.
