How Abuja Hunger Protest Mobiliser Was Arrested At Midnight
The Department of State Services (DSS), has arrested one of the leaders of the ongoing #Endbadgovernance protests in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Micheal Lenin.
According to information obtained by Naija News, Lenin was arrested around 2 am on Monday at his residence in the Apo area of the nation’s capital city by DSS operatives.
Confirming the development, the Director of Mobilisation, Take It Back Movement, Damilare Adenola, told Punch that Lenin’s house was raided by the DSS.
He alleged that the DSS also assaulted him during his arrest. “Lenin has been arrested by the DSS. He was picked up during a raid on his house around 2am.
“He was arrested and tortured in the presence of his family. We are demanding his immediate and unconditional release,” Adenola said.
Meanwhile GWG.ng earlier reported Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has imposed a 24-hour curfew on Jos/Bukuru Metropolis, effective from 12 midnight on Sunday, August 4, 2024.
Governor Mutfwang, in consultation with state security agencies, took this decision after reviewing the actions of unscrupulous individuals who exploited the nationwide protests to unleash terror on innocent citizens.
Governor Mutfwang emphasized that the curfew is in the best interest of all citizens and urged everyone to comply fully to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents. He directed security agencies in the state to ensure the total enforcement of the curfew across Jos/Bukuru Metropolis.
He warned those planning to unleash further terror on innocent citizens to desist immediately or face the full wrath of the law. The governor also called on the relevant security agencies to remain vigilant and proactive in their duties to prevent any potential disruptions to law and order.
These developments have aroused uncertainties as to the continuance of the nationwide protests.
