Prince Deji Adeyanju, the former New Media Director to the
Peoples Democratic Party, has been reportedly arrested by men of the Nigeria
Police.
Adeyanju, who doubles as convener of Concerned Nigeria group
was arrested at the Unity Fountain with another leader of the movement, Brian
Jonah Dennis in Abuja on Friday.
Recall that a statement signed by Deji yesterday informed
Nigerians that protest organized against the Nigerian government over its
insistence on the secret trial of Nnamdi Kanu would kick off in Abuja today.
But in a series of tweets on Friday, Adeyanju claimed that
all entrances to the Unity Fountain were barricaded by men of the Nigeria
Police before he was whisked away by the officers.
The PDP chieftain has been in the forefront of the campaign
calling the immediate release of all political prisoners, including the leader
of The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
He has been championing the #NoToSecretTrial for Nnamdi Kanu
on social media.
