The police have arraigned Deji
Adeyanju, a political activist and convener of Concerned Nigerians, before a
magistrate court over allegations of criminal conspiracy.
The police arraigned Adeyanju and
two others – Daniel Abobama and Boma Williams – for allegedly committing “joint
act of criminal defamation, disturbance of public peace, threat to public
security and safety and inciting public disturbance”.
Deji and the two others were
arrested on Wednesday in Abuja during a protest tagged: “Police Are Not
Politicians, Save Our Democracy”.
The protesters had trooped to the
streets to demand the neutrality of the police in the forthcoming general
election.
Jimoh Moshood, police spokesman,
said the trio were arraigned before the magistrate court in Karshi under the
penal code law.
He said their counsels were
equally in court and that the trio were remanded to Prison custody in Keffi,
Nasarawa State “after they failed to meet the bail conditions”.
He also said the matter had been
adjourned till January 21, 2019.
In a statement released earlier
in the day, Moshood released some extracted from the social media accounts of
the trio.
