Oby Ezekwesili gives FG, police deadline to release Deji Adeyanju
(ACPN) Oby Ezekwesili, has condemned the arrest of social crusader and
human rights activist, Prince Deji Adeyanju and other protesters in
Abuja.
Adeyanju was arrested Wednesday morning alongside Daniel Abobama and
Boma Williams and was taken to the FCT command of the Criminal
Investigation Department (CID), for onward arraignment in court.
However, reacting to the development, Ezekwesili called on the Police
to stop repressing citizens who are exercising their rights.
She tweeted, "With this story of arrest of Deji Adeyanju&others who
protested in Abuja today, let me advise the government of Buhari, just
tune down the intolerant acts now. Police, stop repressing Citizens'
right to dissent. #FreeDejiNow! Do this NOW or earliest tomorrow'.
"Let Citizens like Adeyanju Deji exercise their rights and should they
violate the law, make it explicit what and how they broke any law.
Police, stop using the law as your cover to trample on Citizens right.
#CitizensFirst has the right to protest against anything."
