PUBLIC STATEMENT BY DEJI ADEYANJU ON INCLUSION INTO INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE DEATH OF MINNA MINERS
Following the decision of the Government to constitute a committee to investigate the deaths of the alleged gold miners in Minna, Niger State, I have been invited to serve on the committee, with a view to ensuring that the interests of the victims are adequately represented. I have accepted this responsibility and thank the Government for considering me worthy to serve. I am joining the committee solely to protect the interests of the victims and ensure that the truth is established. I urge the Government not to make any monetary provision, stipend or honorarium for members of the committee, as this is a national duty for which we should be prepared to sacrifice. I will not accept any such payment, and I will not participate in or tolerate any attempt to compromise the investigation or cover up wrongdoing. I undertake to take care of my hotel, transportation and other expenses myself.
If there is any attempt to shield those responsible or suppress the truth, I will expose it. The victims deserve justice, and the Nigerian factor as we know it must not be allowed to prevail.

Ilorin people sure know how to compose catchy Orin-ote (opposition songs)
If this song mistakenly goes viral in the SW, make APC forget am. They will still win o but it could be very marginal. The only question is which opposition party benefits from it.
Why is Arewa silent?
Why are Nigerians silent?
Before we call bloggers out for not highlighting this news, why is our outrage so low?
It is over 15 years of consistent terrorism in Nigeria; have we normalized it?

After making the complaint public yesterday, having personally witnessed the egregious violation of the rights of two young Nigerians including Bayero University Kano (BUK) student Maryam Isah Shehu, the @officialEFCC has now terminated the charges against them.
Unfortunately, the Federal High Court judge who sat yesterday and remanded them in Kuje and Suleja prisons respectively has not sat all day today, so their release is still being delayed.
We are glad that wisdom finally prevailed at the @officialEFCC
We must also thank Deji Adeyanju, @adeyanjudeji who, despite being on vacation in Paris, weighed in heavily; human rights attorneys @Abbahikima and Hamza N Dantani; and all the lawyers on the ground, particularly Chimela, Esq who have not rested all day, working tirelessly on the necessary paperwork to secure their freedom.
I was also informed that the leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (@NANSNIG was at the Federal High Court today to lend its support and help secure Maryamโs freedom. Their solidarity is greatly appreciated.
We sincerely hope that Justice Joyce Abdulmalik will still show up and sit, even briefly, today so that Maryam can regain her freedom and commence her final examinations tomorrow.
If that does not happen in time, we urge the authorities of Bayero University Kano @BUK_Nigeria to take special notice of the extraordinary circumstances surrounding her detention and ensure that she is given the opportunity to rewrite any examinations she misses as a direct consequence of her detention.
An injustice against one is an injustice against all.
No one shall be left behind!
She broke it down for everyone, the real cost of fuel, how the pricing works, and why I would never remove the fuel subsidy. A clear explanation of an issue that affects every Nigerian. #Sowore2027#AACOurParty
