Lawyer and human rights advocate, Deji Adeyanju, has condemned the arrest of Ugochukwu Ukeje in Anambra State, describing the action as unjust and a violation of civil liberties.
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.
