Deji Adeyanju Regains Freedom After Spending Five Days In Prison

He was released at 7: 00 pm to his colleagues. Deji has spent six days in Keffi prison following his arraignment before an Area Court in Karshi before magistrate Aliu Kagarko. The Nigerian police had accused and charged him alongside two others with criminal conspiracy, public nuisance, disturbance of public peace, and threat to public security and safety, criminal defamatory and derogatory conduct against constituted authority and breach of law and order under Sections 96, 113, 114, 152, 183 and 391 of Penal Code. The presiding magistrate admitted him to bail with the following conditions; two sureties, one of whom must be a level 14 civil servant with a cover letter from his superior, and also a businessman with a verified address. A Coalition of Human Rights groups on Monday raised an alarm on perceived threat to the life of Deji. The group expressed apprehension on the sinister move and plan by the police and other security agencies to rearrest him. However, as at the time of filling this story, it is not clear if he would be rearrested and charged for another offence.]]>
