The arrest of Deji Adeyanju, a former Head of New Media for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Convener of pro-democracy and good governance group, Concerned Nigerians, by police officials in Abuja for staging a protest against the planned secret trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has attracted the attention of twitter users.
His arrest brings to question if we actually have right to do in Nigeria or government agencies just seem to have forgot right to demonstration is enshrined in the 1999 constitution and is also one of the basic Fundamental Human rights of human beings.
Below are how Nigerians are reacting to his arrest with the #FreeDeji hashtag;
FCT police command needs to #FreeDeji immediately. Organising a protest is a fundamental human right. They need to allow him go.

You wake up to news of unlawful arrests daily. Very soon we’ll all wake up in jail cells if this is not stopped. #FreeDejiAdeyanju #freedeji

A country where we can’t have a peaceful demonstration is not a country not to talk of one that practices democracy #FreeDeji
