The embattled human right activist Deji Adeyanju has accused the State Security Services, SSS, of being behind the attack he suffered in the hands of thugs last week during a protest in Abuja.
Obinwanne news learnt that Adeyanju was beaten to a pulp by some thugs during a protest at the Human Rights Commission. They were demanding the immediate release of the Convener of ‘ RevolutionNow’, Omoyele Sowore.
He was later flown overseas for medical treatment.
In a terse statement on Sunday morning, the activist said “The SSS is behind my attack.
“After they failed with their gunpoint bribing strategy, they decided to finish me up by contracting thugs and miscreants.
“They contracted one Ali from Kano who subcontracted the tout that led the thugs who attacked me.
“They hired the same people to protest at Sowore’s court and had planned the same attack on Sowore if his rearrest was unsuccessful.
“The leadership of this SSS is the worst in the history of Nigeria. That is why ordinary gathering intelligence on prevention of Boko Haram has become a mirage.”
