Story by Okafor Vivian 

Operatives believed to be from the Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday arrested Ikechi Emenike, a close political associate of former President Muhammadu Buhari, at his office in the Surulere area of Lagos.

According to witnesses, about six operatives, some armed, arrived at the premises of DER Publications at about 2:30 p.m. and identified themselves as personnel from the DSS office in Shangisha. They reportedly did not present any arrest warrant before taking Emenike into their vehicle and driving away.

The DSS has yet to release an official statement on the incident.

Emenike’s wife, Uzoma Emenike, served as Nigeria’s Ambassador to the United States during the Buhari administration. The Abia-born politician maintained strong ties with Buhari throughout his time in office.
