In Nigeria, citizens' ignorance of the law, coupled with the complex, time-consuming legal adjudication processes, significantly contribute to the prevalence of injustice. In response to this challenge, Citizens' Gavel has created Podus AI, a chatbot accessible via WhatsApp.

Dear @PoliceNGLagos your officers at Ikotun Police station are detaining Miss Tobi Olanipekun in lieu of her dad who by the way has committed no offense whatsoever. This is wrong, malicious and an abuse of the powers of the police. @PoliceNG_PCRRU @PoliceNG

Our lawyers have been refused access to protesters detained at Panti. The protesters have been alleged to be in possession of charms. Their statements are being taken at the moment and we have been informed by the police officer that directive from the CP is awaited.
