Civil society for the Defence of Justice has sobbed out against what it referred to as oppression meted on Mr Adeshina Adelani Adekanmbi who is alleged to have actually been in cops custody for over 3 months without trial.

The group attracted President Muhammadu Buhari and the Police Service Commission to as a matter of seriousness step in on the supposed detention of Mr Adeshina Adelani Adekanmbi in police custody to ensure justice is done on the matter.
