Three Children Abandoned As Lagos Courts Imprison Their Parents

Three Kids of the same parents have been abandoned in Mushin as their parents have been arrested and remanded in prison custody in Lagos. Their parents, Taofik Aremu and his wife, Latifat, were arraigned before a Lagos Task Force and Magistrate court for committing different offences and have been remanded in prison for the past five weeks.

While Taofik was remanded at a prison in Badagry, his wife is cooling her head at Kirikiri prison. Their three Kids, four – year – old kudirick and the twins Taye and Kehinde who are two years of age, are left to their fate at 13 Agoro street in Mushin where their reside.
We gathered that the ordeals of the embattled parents started when Mr Aremu went to work and was arrested by the Lagos State Task Force. He was subsequently arraigned and remanded in prison.

His wife, Lafifat had disagreement with their landlady who dragged her to the Police at Olosan division in Mushin over rent. She was charged before Ogba Magistrate court where she was granted bail but there was nobody to stand as her sureties because of money .
Our correspondent gathered that the landlady, Iyabola Oladokun asked her to move out from her rented apartment despite having an existing one year rent. They had exchange of words, the landlady went to the police station where she reported that she was insulted by Latifat. The police arrested her and charged her to court.
At the court, she pleaded not guilty. The presiding Magistrate granted her bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in the like sum. She was remanded in the custody pending when she will perfect her bail conditions.
When the matter came up on Thursday, it was further adjourned till 15 April 2017. At the court, their neighbours brought those kids for her to take to them prison, but she was not allowed to do so. She wept before she was taken back to the custody.

Very weird and dysfunctional legal system.
The real criminals are roaming around free, a large percentage of them concentrated in Abuja, while poor, helpless and hapless people are sitting in the jailrooms the polithiefians are supposed to be.
Hope Ambode is aware of this?
Don't the parents have relatives?
Better still, they should be taken to the LAGOS state welfare service.
And that landlady, I know you're not innocent in this. If truly you're not, the guardian angels of those little children will fight you to a standstill

Naija police has failed us, now our judges have followed suit, our legislative arm is busy witch-hunting and playing media pranks,
But surely God have not and will never fail us.

Smbdy should take those kids to the judge's house let him know he has really f*cked up badly.
