The protesters carried placards and banners with various inscriptions:
“Denial of bail of bailable offence is human rights violation”.
“Nigeria police please allow the law to dictate to you, not Iyabo Ojo, Princess and co’, ‘release Baba Ijesha’.
“Nigeria police must respect human rights and honour bail for bailable offence”.
Fabiyi, who has been supportive of Baba Ijesha, described the continuous detention of Baba Ijesha as “illegal”.
