Security operatives storm SERAP’s office in Abuja
Few hours after the arrest of the Nigeria Labour Congress President, Joe Ajaero, by agents of the Department of State Services (DSS), officials of the State Security Service (SSS) have stormed the office of a prominent civil society group, SERAP, asking for their directors.
The civic group revealed on X that the officers “unlawfully occupied SERAP’s office in Abuja, asking to see directors.
“President Tinubu must immediately direct the SSS to end the harassment, intimidation and attack on the rights of Nigerians,” SERAP wrote.
Neither the police nor the SSS have spoken on the matter.
Neptune Prime reports that Mr Ajaero was arrested by DSS at the Abuja airport.
The Nigerian government has been accused of clamping down on civic space through the arrest and intimidation of activists, journalists and civil society personnel.
