Omoyele: Beating An Opposition Member Changes Nothing – FFK Warns Buhari

Following the attack and beating of human activist, Deji Adeyanju by some people in Abuja yesterday shouting ‘Sai Baba’, the former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has given details to the attack.

Deji Adeyanju and others went to the police station to submit a petition for the release of Omoyele Sowore who was in the hands of the Department of State Service since his re-arrest.

Fani-Kayode said, ‘Deji was attacked by a 150-strong crowd of young, wild drug-crazed almajiris shouting, “sai Baba” which left him unconscious.

He further warned President Muhammadu Buhari of the consequences of the happening under his administration, adding that power is transient.

On his Twitter page, the former minister wrote: “I spoke to Adeyanju Deji and I can confirm to you that he was badly beaten until he was unconscious. He barely escaped with his life.

“As he was about to submit his letter on Yele Sowore at the Human Rights Commission in Abuja he was attacked by a 150-strong crowd of young, wild drug-crazed almajiris shouting “sai Baba” whilst the police and DSS stood by and did nothing to help.

“They were carrying placards with Buhari’s face on it and they kept on chanting his name. Hear this: beating up opposition members changes nothing. It only strengthens our hand and our resolve and swells our ranks.

“Finally remember that you will not be in power forever and one day you will be called to account for your wickedness, brutality and tyranny.”
