IKEJA, Lagos – A Special Offences court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos today ordered  Cece Yara Foundation to produce  in court the two daughters of Mr. Adebisi Arewa, an associate professor of the University of Lagos.

Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo ordered that the children be produced in court on August 25 to enable her have an interface with the children to find out about their wellbeing.

She told the court that she so ordered so that she could speak with them in her chambers  and allow the children speak for themselves and that she could have since made the order but that it escaped her notice.

Professor Adebisi Arewa, who appeared for himself during the ruling  had told the court that his children are not properly catered for and that they are being provided with second clothes in the custody of Cece Yara Foundation when  they are the children of a whole professor of law. He said  the last time he saw his children was in May 2022.

He alleged that the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu is using his influence with the school where his children are attending in persecuting his person. He also told the court, that the mother of the children, a banker is not capable of caring for the children due to her work and that he remains the best person to cater for the children, who are 7 and 10 years respectively.

He said that the children are not disturbed and that they should be handed over to him and that they are doing fine in their  respective school.

Professor Adebisi Arewa had sued in behalf of himself and his two children, X and Y against the Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Lagos State.

Other respondents are  Director of Public Prosecution, Lagos State Ministry of Justice, Commissioner for Youths and Social  Development, Executive Secretary, Domestic and Sexual Violence Team in the Ministry of justice,  Chief Mrs.O. A Olayinka, Chief Magistrate of Lagos State, O.T Odumole, Principal Social Welfare Officer, Yaba, Commissioner of Police and Deputy Commissioner of Police, Lagos state.

In the suit, the professor is seeking  six reliefs,  among which is an order seeking immediate release of the applicants to their parents,  and an order declaring the forensic interview  so long as it disparages the interest of the minors purportedly conducted  by Cece Yara Foundation without the consent and participation of the parents illegal, void and of no effect and an order releasing the children to enable them go to school.

Cece Foundation took custody of the children over allegation that Mr. Adebisi Arewa is allegedly having carnal knowledge of his two daughters and for his refusal to release the victims for forensic examination.

In 2019,  Cece Yarah during an advocacy visit, noticed that Miss ‘X’ had been physically molested by her father and wrote the Ministry of Youths And Social Development that the child be taken into protective custody but that in a twist, a driver in UNILAG staff School, one Abiodun Matthew who never had any contact with the child was accused of defiling the minor and is presently serving life imprisonment term at Kirikiri.
