Just as mentioned earlier Distinguished @adeyanjudeji has been granted bail for the upteenth time by a competent court a few minutes ago. Criminal libel is an illegality in any Democracy and Nigeria is not going to be painted differently by tyrants abusing office. #FreeDejiNow

Deji Adeyanju, who was arrested on November 28th while leading a protest in Abuja, was released on Monday December 3rd from the federal prison in Keffi after meeting his bail condition but was re-arrested by a police team waiting around the prison.

He was rearraigned in court by the police on Tuesday December 4th for Cyber Stalking, Inciting Disturbance, and Criminal Defamation.

He has now been granted bail.

  4. I thought they were going to jail him because Nigerians hates hearing the truth,thank God they released him

  5. He should just take things easy this is a country that you can’t battle with government and win the battle

  28. I don’t think he did anything wrong that should land him there, but had he not gotten there I would have wondered where APC have evening waiting for to magically change Nigeria.

  29. for court to grant him bail is actually never a good justice that is supposed to be given to deji adeyanju

  36. One thing about this country is the aspect of playing around with the truth…..they truly knows he is right but they still persist with their action….

  49. don’t think he did anything wrong that should land him there, but had he not gotten there I would have wondered where APC have evening waiting for to magically change Nigeria.

  54. Thank God he has been released but why did they level a wrong allegation against him that he was involved in Cyber Stalking, Inciting Disturbance, and Criminal Defamation. This is unfair!

  64. Congratulations for the bail, authorities should always investigate before charging someone to court fornthe allegation levied against him

  67. Granting of bail has never been issues in Nigeria, the problems we have is based on the fact that if it can be sustained. He may still remain there until the next four years.

  68. He has proved his point. Police have become more notorious. A strong warning to the IGP and his men at the top. They should stop playing pipers role.

  71. That’s good but from now onwards he has to trade carefully to avoid a repeat of the last incident
