Emergency Legal Assistance Portal
If you or your loved ones are facing immediate arrest, arbitrary detention, domestic violence, or require urgent court protections, this portal provides swift access to human rights defense counsels and regulatory support lines.
In Case of Arrest & Detention
- Demand Your Right to Silence: You have the constitutional right (Section 35 of the 1999 Constitution) to remain silent until your lawyer is contacted. Do not write or sign any statement under duress.
- Demand Cause of Arrest: Except caught in the act, police officers must state why you are being placed under arrest.
- Bail is Free: Do not pay officers for release. Under Osun ACJL statutes, demanding bribes to process bail for bailable infractions is unlawful. Contact our branch secretary immediately.
Domestic Abuse & Child Rights
- Document Everything: Take photos of injuries, archive hostile text messages or emails, and seek immediate medical evaluation at any public hospital in Ikirun.
- Restraining Order (Protection Notice): Family lawyers in the directory can apply to a magistrate court for emergency restraining mandates within 48 hours.
- Child Welfare: If a child faces physical threat or exploitation, contact the state Ministry of Women Affairs or the local human rights desk below.
