The presidential candidate of the
Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (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.”
