Tempers flared on Tuesday morning when security operatives prevented family members of an #EndSARS protester, Eromosele Adene, from gaining entrance into the Yaba Magistrates Court where his case is expected to be heard.

The street leading into the court  was barricaded with their vehicle thereby hindering access to the court premises.

Some family members were also seen confronting some officers over their refusal to allow them into the courtroom.

A woman said she was already inside and she just came out to meet someone, only to be prevented from going back in, whereas her belongings were inside.

But according to the security operatives, they were only trying to prevent a crowd from building up around the court.

Journalists were also not allowed to get in.

Eromosele is being charged with allegations of aiding the #EndSARS protest in Lagos.

The embattled youth was arrested on November 7 by the police and whisked to Abuja, the nation’s capital, days later, quickly sparking the trend, #FreeEromz.

The case was initially scheduled to hold on Monday on allegations of financial support to the youth protest that was later hijacked by hoodlums in some states in the country.
