Lagos court denies wheelchair-bound suspect bail over murder

The Lagos State High Court in Igbosere has ruled against granting bail to Ahmed Tajudeen, a suspect in the alleged murders of Sherif Agborin in April 2023 and Ademola Akinloye in August 2024. The court denied bail to the wheelchair-bound Tajudeen, who had sought permission to receive proper medical treatment during the trial. The defendant's lawyer, Adedotun Ajulo, had argued that Tajudeen required medical attention and was already receiving treatment at a Federal Medical Centre.

Despite the court acknowledging the defendant's health concerns, it chose not to grant bail, considering the allegations of murder and conspiracy. The case was adjourned for further hearings, with a final ruling expected on November 3, 2026.
