Deji Adeyanju names those behind his attack

Political activist, Deji Adeyanju has broken silence over an attack he suffered that left him hospitalized to the point of getting flown to Dubai for further treatment.

MyNigeria reported that Adeyanju was attacked by hoodlums while protesting in front of the National Human Rights Commission headquarters in Abuja.

He and others were protesting for the release of Sahara Reporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore, who was held in custody of the Department of State Security, DSS.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Adeyanju said:

“The SSS behind my attack.

“After they failed with their gun point bribing strategy, they decided to finish me up by contracting thugs and miscreants.

“They contracted one Ali from Kano who sub contracted the tout that led the thugs who attacked me.

“They hired same people to protest at Sowore’s court and had planned same attack on Sowore if his rearrest was unsuccessful.

“The leadership of this SSS is the worst in the history of Nigeria. That is why ordinary gathering intelligence on prevention of Boko Haram has become a mirage.”
