Femi Fani-Kayode, former minister
of Aviation has narrated how activist, Adeyanju Deji was beaten by alleged
President Muhammadu Buhari supporters during protest on Monday in Abuja.
It was learnt that Adeyanju
alongside some other protesters were attacked while on their way to the Human
Rights commission to summit a letter demanding the release of the Convener of ‘
RevolutionNow’, Omoyele Sowore.
Fani-Kayode giving details on the
incident said, ‘Deji was attacked by a 150-strong crowd of young, wild
drug-crazed almajiris shouting, “sai Baba” which left him unconscious.
He further warned President
Muhammadu Buhari of the consequences of the happening under his adminstration,
adding that power is transient.
On his Twitter page, the former
minister wrote: “I spoke to Adeyanju Deji and I can confirm to you that he was
badly beaten until he was unconcious. He barely escaped with his life.
“As he was about to submit his
letter on Yele Sowore at the Human Rights Commission in Abuja he was attacked
by a 150-strong crowd of young,wild drug-crazed almajiris shouting “sai Baba”
whilst the police and DSS stood by and did nothing to help.
“They were carrying placards with
Buhari’s face on it and they kept on chanting his name. Hear this: beating up
opposition members changes nothing. It only strengthens our hand and our
resolve and swells our ranks.
“Finally remember that you will
not be in power forever and one day you will be called to account for your
wickedness, brutality and tyranny.”
