The Nigerian Prison Service has barred friends and family members from visiting Deji Adeyanju in Kano prison.

The order came after a meeting between the Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau and officials of the Nigerian Prison Service.

Deji was rearrested and charged for culpable homicide by the Nigerian Police, over a case said to have been decided upon by the Kano State High Court in 2009.

On Friday, December 21, 2018, he was remanded in prison custody after a Kano State magistrate court declined jurisdiction to hear the case. Meanwhile, on the same day, a high court in Abuja had ordered Adeyanju's immediate release from detention, a directive that was ignored by the Police.


A source close to the prison service revealed that the order was handed down after the Minister got a report that some members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), popularly known as Shi'ites, visited the activist in Kano prison.

It was gathered that some of the clerics from the sect paid a solidarity visit to him on Christmas Day, a move some people in government are said to not be comfortable with.

With this new directive by the prison officials, family members and friends will not have access to celebrate the beginning of 2019 with him.

Hey Chairman

Politically motivated trials do not usually make headway.
If I were deji I remain strong, definitely I remain strong and when I eventually come out, I'll use the popularity I've garnered during my political incarceration to contest for a popular post like Federal house of reps and then win. When I win, I'll make sure I spend my political power opposing every bastard that had a hand in my political incarceration.

Lies, Lies and more lies..

Did I just read that the case has been decided way back in 2009?

Who would have thought that those whose pastime was criticizing and hauling invectives at the government while in opposition wouldn't be able to take a fraction of what they did now that they are in power.

Deji should be strong as power is transient
