67 days after, human rights activist, Deji Adeyanju, gets bail
Reprieve has come the way of social activist, Deji Adeyanju, as a Kano State High Court on Monday granted him bail.
According to his lawyers, Adeyanju, who has been in custody for about 67 days, is expected to provide sureties and a bail of N500,000 to conditions he has to fulfil.
Before his arrest for alleged murder, a case said to have been dispensed with years ago, he had a running battle with the police which arrested and charged him to court on charges bothering on obstruction and incitement.
