Lawyer and Human Rights activist, Deji Adeyanju, has opposed the arrest of a man named Ugochukwu Ukeje in Anambra, who was arrested for looking like a tout.
According to Deji, information at his disposal says the Ukeje, who is a trader in the Onitsha main market, was arrested alongside four others by men of the state task force set up by the state government on June 24. Adeyanju said the security agents had no other reason for the arrest other than that they looked like touts.
He said the victim was taken to the cell and had his phone confiscated. Adeyanju mentioned that a neighbor who visited the station to secure Ukeje’s bail was asked to bring N200,000.
