‘Criminal conspiracy’: Deji Adeyanju may remain in prison till 2019

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 security and safety
and inciting public disturbance”.

TheNigerialawyer had reported how Adeyanju 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 a magistrate court in Karshi under the penal code law.

He said their counsels were equally in court and that the trio
were remanded in 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 made public
some “inciting materials” extracted from the social media accounts
of the trio.
