The police in Abuja have detained Deji Adeyanju again, his associates have told PREMIUM TIMES.

A message from Ariyo-Dare Atoye, a long-time friend of Mr Adeyanju, said the political activist was arrested after 3:00 p.m. on Thursday.

It was learnt that the police are demanding to establish the conclusion of a murder trial involving Mr Adeyanju in the mid and late 2000s.

“They are holding him at the Inspector-General of Police Monitoring Unit over a murder case from his university days,” Mr Atoye said.

“Even though it is true that he was arrested and charged for murder when he was a student of Bayero University Kano, we are very sure that he was discharged and acquitted in the case,” Mr Atoye said.

Mr Adeyanju was at the unit, which was specially established to tackle specific serious crimes ranging from kidnapping to armed robbery, to retrieve the last of his three mobile telephone devices which the police seized from him when he was first arrested on November 28.

As of 9:30 p.m., Mr Atoye said he had contacted lawyers on behalf of Mr Adeyanju.

“The police said he jumped bail in 2005 and are asking for him to provide the certified true copy of the case in order to establish that he was indeed discharged,” Mr Atoye added. “We find this extremely embarrassing for our country, but we would try and get the copies tomorrow.”

Mr Adeyanju spent four years in prison between 2005 and 2009 after he was arrested with three others on murder charges while a student of Bayero University.

Festus Keyamo, a rights lawyer and current campaign spokesperson for President Muhammadu Buhari, defended Mr Adeyanju and the three others. One of the other three was Musa Daura, said to be a relative of Mamman Daura, President Muhammadu Buhari’s nephew.

“I represented Deji Adeyanju in the matter from 2005 until 2009, and I can tell you categorically that he was not only discharged but also acquitted,” Mr Keyamo told PREMIUM TIMES by telephone Thursday night.

Mr Keyamo said he represented Mr Adeyanju on a pro-bono (free) basis at the time, buoyed largely by his longstanding interest in helping students from legal dilemma.

“Immediately I heard he was a student, I picked up the case and by the grace of God we won it and he was discharged and acquitted,” Mr Keyamo emphasised.

Don't mind them. PDP director of new media, another name for director of online defamation against APC, is now an activist?

The likely truth, given his lifestyle and what he is involved with, is that this Adeyanju chap is indeed a cad who wants to be a rich and 'made' man. We all know the best way to do this in Nigeria today is to use people to drink Garri like Kanu is doing.

PMB must get tough before we have 10000 Adeyanjus and Kanus because others will be encouraged if they see that lawlessness has no consequences under Buhari's rule.

They say your brother Deji is a murderer. Are you a murderer too?

Will you shut it !! Are the Kanus, FFKs and Adeyanjus of the world lawful? Why do you people hold Buhari to high standards but are never critical of misbehaviour and sabotage against his person and goverrnment? Kanu broke all his bail conditions yet you lawless folks complained when the law decided to remind him of this.

FFK told us Kanu has been killed. The minute Kanu showed up alive many government worldwide would have arrested FFK for slander and defamation. Yet Buhari never did this.

Lunatic Fayose said he will leave Nigeria if Buhari came back alive from his medical trip. Has he left yet and did Buhari move against such vile and evil talk directed af his person?

What of Adeyanju with his outright fake news and slander against PMB?

Buhari is too soft. Trust me. These characters would not even get away with their vile antics in the UK, where they jail and deport hate preachers, talk less of some African Countries. You lot don't know what lawless is. Trust me because Putin would have gassed these folks for looking at him funny talk less of what PMB has had to endure because of his benevolent nature.

. Which of d cults him de?

Guys read below and see if PMB is not being too soft for his own good. I support the man but this is damn dangerous and an invitation to the promotion of anarcy a proliferation of Kanus and Adeyanjus will cause for Nigeria.

These guys are ready to use fake news and the death of others to get quick money and fame whereas their superior like Buhari worked hard and fought bravely for Nigeria to gain the reputation they enjoy today. PMB better wise up before his soft approach gets Nigeria in trouble.

Suicide or unlawful incarceration, say Amen to the prayer. Zombie.

I can never be a murderer nor be accused of one.

Mr Adeyanju spent four years in prison between 2005 and 2009 after he was arrested with three others on murder charges while a student of Bayero University.

Who say NO GOVERNMENT?!

Will you listen to the good correction your bro is giving you here and stop saying trash this kid?!
Becareful, Mr robed!

So deji has spent 4 years for prison before? Yet he has refused to have sense

Probably a cultist，They should lock in prison for 10 yrs so that he will gain sense

This guy enjoyed the brief attention his last incarceration generated, now he desperately misses it. He knows he is a nobody until he causes a stir, so he is playing that card. Sadly, many gullible are falling for it. I hope the police will go and sweep that cell where Nnamdi Kanu was kept, and then keep this bastaaard there till 2031 when Osinbajo must have completed his second term.

Its okay. Lets wait and see.
