Gov. Amosun should stop flaunting his brawn political prowess against a weak individual. If the offense is bailable why is Gov. Amosun using brigandry to continue holding the young man captive illegally.

Only the courts of law are empowered to sanction arrest or continue captivity of any accused individual.
