Some Nigerians on Twitter have demanded the release of Deji Adeyanju, a political commentator and the convenor of the Concerned Nigeria group.

Using the hashtag #FreeDejiNow, many called on the federal government and other concerned bodies to urge the police to release Adeyanju.

One Gbemi Dennis™ @GbemiDennis  further claimed that Adeyanju had been taken to Magistrate Court, Wuse Zone II, and charged for public disturbance.

“Deji Adeyanju has been taken to Magistrate Court, Wuse Zone II, charged for PUBLIC DISTURBANCE, the tweet reads”

Recall that the Concerned Nigerian group had earlier announced on Twitter that the Nigeria Police Force had arrested Adeyanju along with two others, during the #PoliceNotPoliticians protest.

The protest which took place at the force headquarters was embarked upon to demand that the Nigeria Police Force remain neutral in the forthcoming 2019 elections.

However, the ‘Concerned Nigerians group have not given further details about the arrest.

See some tweets:

He stood for the Shiites. He stood for IPOB. He stood for victims of SARS.

He stood for the common man and woman. He stood against injustice, human rights violation and abuse of office.

It is time to stand with Deji.

I understand that Deji Adeyanju has been arrested AGAIN. I find it inconceivable that criminals like Babachir Lawal and Ganduje are roaming the streets free while citizens who protest the govts illegality are jailed.

Nigeria is not a zoo…It is a jungle#FreeDejiNow

The @PoliceNG arrested @adeyanjudeji and two other persons this morning for protesting against Police involvement in politics, I learnt they are planning to charge him to court, I wonder what the charge will me. This is what democracy has reduced to under Buhari. #FreeDejiNow

The @PoliceNG arrested @adeyanjudeji because he convened a peaceful protest in Abuja. The IG is taking his disregard for the rule of law too far. It’s important to #FreeDejiNow #FreeDejiAdeyanju

This is @adeyanjudeji last tweet. While we await our able distinguished @segalink to secure his release. Could we all lend a voice to #PoliceNotPoliticains #FreeDejiNow@AbdulMahmud01 @henryshield @YarKafanchan @DemolaRewaju @MrStanleyNwabia @john_danfulani @DrJoeAbah pic.twitter.com/cZ9zvfn6PQ

Buhari needs to order the IG of @PoliceNG to release @adeyanjudeji with immediate effect as that is evidently an infringement on his fundamental human rights! @hrw #FreeDejiAdeyanjuNow #FreeDejiAdeyanju #FreeDejiNow

Democracy is about alternative voice and choice!

This is how you recognise a country under a dictatorship: frequent trending of hashtags requesting freedom for its citizens.

The @PoliceNG this morning arrested @adeyanjudeji and others for exercising their civil rights through peaceful protest. Police involvement in politics has become a nightmare.
Under Buhari administration, democracy has been in coma. @chairmanNHRC

Deji Adeyanju have long waited to see this day where he would be arrested by the @PoliceNG so he could trend. Now that @adeyanjudeji has been allegedly arrested, you guys who usually like and retweet his falsehood should make him trend. Do not disappoint Deji.? #FreeDejiNow pic.twitter.com/LsIslFsIQB

We jus heard he’s currently been charged to court For Public Disturbance. Calls are now being made for the best lawyers to look into the matter #FreeDejiNow

Only in a dictatorship Peaceful Protects turns to Public Disturbance ??

Everyone has the right to protest, so I wonder why should the police arrest Deji. We must rise up to defend our democracy from crumbling. #FreeDejiNow pic.twitter.com/r4b9iLNiKE

I heard Deji Adeyanju was illegally arrested and charged to court for “public disturbance”
This is Nigeria, look at how we’re leaving now.
Everybody is under threat.
I think Gen. Abacha is resurrected. Hence, ?? democracy is under siege.
I’m in tears ?
Anyway, #FreeDejiNow

The arrest of @adeyanjudeji is further confirmation that our @PoliceNG have been badly politicised and bastardised. The nation is bring driven further down the hill. #FreeDejiAdeyanjuNow #FreeDejiNow #FreeDejiAdeyanju

The arrest of Deji Adeyanju is an arrest of freedom.

The arrest of Deji Adeyanju is an arrest of the masses.

The arrest of Deji Adeyanju is an arrest of the youths.

I join my voice in condemning this act and demanding his immediate release!!!✊#FreeDejiNow#FreeDejiAdeyanju pic.twitter.com/VtdHTMfBZr

This Dictatorship must stop!!!
Don’t we have the right to Peaceful Protest in the country no more?
Why is the federal government scared of the same Social Media Voices he rode on to power in 2015? @Omojuwa
Are they trying to silence the media now?
