Bukola Saraki, Senate President, has called for the unconditional release of Deji Adeyanju, detained political activist.

Mr Adeyanju travail started when he led a protest demanding service chiefs to be apolitical as the next goes to elect its leaders in next year’s general election.

Some service chiefs had graced a political event in honour of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is seeking a second term in office. It was on this basis that triggered the protest.

Adeyanju was arrested alongside his colleagues, they were immediately arraigned on sundry charges, granted bail and he was released after spending eight days behind bars.

On release, he returned to the Police which previously arrested him to retrieve one of his 3 phones and was arrested again to stand trial for an old case, for which he had been discharged and acquitted by a court in Kano years ago.

Adeyanju was then remanded in prison till February 6, 2019 when the matter could be heard at a higher court.

The top lawmaker said Adeyanju’s travail was more political than judicial and urged the Mr Buhari to order his release.

Saraki urged the president to set the activist free as keeping him behind bars portrayed the present administration in bad light as a government that is intolerant of criticism and suppressing views of the opposition, indicating that dictatorial tendencies are becoming rife in a democratic country.

In a statement by his Special Adviser (Media and Publicity), Yusuph Olaniyonu, the Senate President said the action of the police indicated a deliberate attempt to get Adeyanju out of circulation.

“The way the matter has been handled and the last decision of the Magistrate Court to remand the young man in prison till after the conclusion of the 2019 Polls has presented our democracy in bad light. We are now looking like a country that has receded to the period of military rule,” Saraki said.

“The President needs to intervene to find out whether the current travail of Deji Adeyanju has anything to do with his frequently expressed viewpoints against the Federal Government and why his arrest after leading a protest has now ignited all the various charges being filed against him and if it was true that the charges for which he has been remanded in prison till February had actually being adjudicated upon by the High Court.

“It should be noted that prior to the coming to office of this government, those of us in opposition, the APC, freely criticized the Goodluck Jonathan government and flayed their actions and statements without any attempt by the administration to stifle opposing views. This administration which benefitted from such open market place of ideas, which is a key tenet of a democratic regime, cannot offer anything less to our people.

“At this point, President Buhari should not allow the excesses and over-zealousness of some security agents to give his government a bad name and that is why I think he should interfere and let the world know the truth about this case. It is obvious that this case is purely political and not about any judicial action. I also call on all human rights protection groups to wade into this matter and ensure we do not watch helplessly as the rights of a citizen is being trampled upon”, Saraki added.

You were placed on the bed above by providence but because you have no self worth and nothing going for you in life, and also nothing to contribute to the topic, you still rolled down to the floor below to tackle people on their own jejely, that don't even know if you exist in life.
If you take this attitude to the new year, it will be terrible o.
Have some little self worth little boy, common!
Merry Xmas to you o!

So, an alleged murderer should be set free just because he belongs to the opposition party?

Is there anything else you paid hacks can say other than thief and 16yrs?

Borrow him your 80 SANs.

Karma seems to be too real

Democracy does not mean we should not respect people in Authority. DEJI is not the only activist rather is a politically motivated.

Saraki is a fo0l!

The top lawmaker in the country begging securoty agents to abide by the law.

Can you imagine? The person that presides over what becomes law and what doesnt is begging those who are supposed to enforce it to please act right and obey law.

What the heck! What is he waiting on? The law gives him right to invite the Chief Law Enforcement Officer, the AG of the Federation to come to Senate and answer why citizens rights are being flouted by security agencies. He should never write Buhari. He cant bring the President to the assembly for questioning. He should write Attorney General to come assembly and answer.

Saraki has fall my hand! . They have taken power from Saraki and rendered him useless in his own chambers. Chineke God!

Burahi never cease to amaze me.
Dictator !!!

Is deji an activist or PDP apologists? Abeg.

What is Saraki saying?. Is it the president that arrested him?. He's been charged to court and bailed denied till February when a court of competent jurisdiction will entertain the matter.
It is same Saraki and Co that will cry wolf and allege the president interference when he does so.

“At this point, [b]President Buhari should not allow the excesses and over-zealousness of some security agents to give his government a bad name and that is why I think he should interfere and let the world know the truth about this case. [/b]It is obvious that this case is purely political and not about any judicial action.

Which bad name again Saraki? After insulting the president on international TV

Sad

Deji don buy market.

Omojuwa was arrested when he protested against abba moro's NIS exercise and Deji mocked him. Now he's having a taste of it. Karma is a b*tch. Deji is no activist, he's just a PDP apologist. Same with that segalink guy
