By Dipo Olowookere

Business Post has confirmed the release of former New Media Director to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Deji Adeyanju, by the police.

Mr Adeyanju was apprehended on Friday morning in Abuja while trying to stage a peaceful protest to clamour for open trial for leader of a pro-Biafra group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mr Nnamdi Kanu.

He was reportedly arrested by security operatives alongside others.

But shortly after his arrest, the social media went on fire, with many threatening a showdown with the government.

Mr Adeyanju, on Friday afternoon, announced his release from the claws of the Nigeria Police.

“Released. I have told them that the protests will continue. We will not STOP and we will not be cowed,” Mr Adeyanju posted on his Facebook page on Friday afternoon moments after he was let go by the police.
