Deji Adeyanju Mercilessly Beaten by Hoodlums During Protest

Anti-Buhari protester Deji Adeyanju was today attacked and beaten in Abuja by hoodlums during a protest.

The activist who staged a protest in front of the headquarters of the National Human Rights Commission to canvass for obedience to a court order by the Buhari administration got more than he bargained for when the said hoodlums descended on him.

Pictures and videos posted on Twitter show hoodlums, and counter-protesters beating him blue and black. He is now hospitalised.

Posts on Twitter claimed that the police watched the attack without making any effort to protect him.

A twitter user, Sir Ariyo-Dare Atoye wrote;

“Miscreants and thugs hired by the Buhari regime to attack the anti-Sowore/Jalingo/others protest to the NHRC have seriously injured Deji Adeyanju. They attacked us in the presence of the
@PoliceNG. The Nigerian government under Buhari is commissioning thugs to attack citizens”.

Fisayo Soyombo also wrote: ''All those who mercilessly descended on Deji Adeyanju today, I promise you: Karma will find you. The politicians who hired those thugs and the policemen who watched this happen, I can assure you that you’ve not gone scot-free. Your comeuppance will find you. ALL OF YOU!''.

“This assault on Deji Adeyanju may spark happiness in the ‘hearts’ of evil supporters of a tyrannical regime but it is only an invitation to anarchy – it stirs anger in the hearts of revolutionaries who do not even know it yet. When dictators go this route, their end is not far”, Demola Olarewaju said.
