Few months back, my friend was remanded in Ilesha prison for a crime he didn't commit. He used to work with one major hard drinks distributor in Ilesha as a salesperson until the manager was sacked and he was asked to assume the position of the manager. He rejected the offer but the management insisted. Since he had no other job, he reluctantly obliged. The company had no proper record keeping and the way the organization was being run was below the standard. My friend saw this, and called the management's attention to it. He was trying to put things in shape before he was accused of embezzlement and taken to remand. If he actually embezzled their money, he would have used part of it to get a lawyer to defend himself. Somebody that could not afford a lawyer fee. On getting to the police station when the case freshly began, the police said "eyin tun ni." Meaning "it is you again." This expression means remanding their employees has become their style. I don't know why a (family) company will be remanding the defenseless employees. After spending close to three weeks in remand, one lawyer stood for him on the promise that he would pay him after his freedom. Up to now he is still struggling to pay the lawyer before the adjourned date. Fast forward... He appeared in court on the 23rd of October and the judge adjourned again till the 30th of the same month. This was the last time I heard from him. He has been remanded again. If not for the demise of his brother, he had no business working with the company in the first place. He joined the company after the demise of his brother, who died two weeks before going back to Australia. Iku ma b'olaje o. Death is a bitch.

Let him try and visit a pastor for prayers, nothing prayer can't solve

The information here is not enough. Maybe you can tell why he was remanded again? Embezzlement is a bailable offence usually prosecuted in the Magistrate Court. Why the High Court?

Was he granted bail by the Court when he was arraigned?
