Men from the Department of State Services, DSS, have invaded the Abuja office of the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP.
According to reports, the officers were asking to see the rights group’s directors.
A post on SERAP’s X (Twitter) handle read: “Officers from Nigeria’s State Security Service (SSS) are presently unlawfully occupying SERAP’s office in Abuja, asking to see our directors.
“President Tinubu must immediately direct the SSS to end the harassment, intimidation, and attack on the rights of Nigerians.”
Meanwhile, a staff of SERAP has narrated to Vanguard how DSS officers invaded their Abuja office.
The staff (name withheld) said the officers ordered that Kola reports to their office with the organisation’s documents tomorrow, Tuesday, September 10.
She said: “However, I told her that there was no way I could get across to the Deputy Director today, and he will be able to get into the country and honour the invitation.
“I also told them that there should be a formal invitation letter for such processes.
“The DSS officer then told me to get in touch with the SERAP bosses and get back to her before the day is over.” Read the full eyewitness account
