‘It Is Time For The Senate To Stand Up And Speak Up In Defense Of Deji Adeyanju’ – Dino Melaye

At plenary today, Senator Dino Melaye spoke on the floor of the house
in defense of political activist, Deji Adeyanju, who is currently in
detention.

According to the lawmaker, ‘this activist was arrested again by the
Police, for a matter that took place 18 years ago. The judgement has
been given. Deji Adeyanju and two others have been discharged and
acquitted by the court. This is not acceptable to me; it should not be
accepted by the Senate. It is time for the Senate to stand up and speak
up in defense of Deji Adeyanju. We need to defend Deji Adeyanju, as we
need to defend every Nigerian’.

Deji Adeyanju was rearraigned before a Wuse magistrate court on
Tuesday December 4th, before he was granted bail. Adeyanju, who was
arrested on November 28th while leading a protest in Abuja, was released
on Monday December 3rd from the federal prison in Keffi after meeting
his bail condition but was re-arrested by a police team waiting around
the prison.
