Minister of Information, Lai
Mohammed has reacted to the allegation of clampdown on civil society with the
re-arrest and detention of Deji Adeyanju.
He spoke at a media briefing on
Thursday in Abuja.
He said: “There is no clampdown
on any civil society, except in the wild imagination of naysayers.
“As I have said, being in
opposition is no licence to break the law and then hope to escape justice.
“If the police have re-arrested
Adeyanju, they must have a compelling reason to do so. Anyone who breaks the
law must face justice’’.
Mohammed said that the alleged
fears that the security agencies might be partisan during the 2019 polls was
the figment of imagination of the opposition.
“The opposition is only crying
wolf where there is none, and in view of what they did during their 16 years in
power.
“They never really won a free and
fair election. Their strategy was to use the
security agencies to thwart the
wishes of voters.
“They did it in Ekiti and Osun in
2014. I was a victim in Osun, so I know what I am saying.
“But the guilty are always
afraid. They think what they have done to others is what will be done to
them,’’ he said.
