BREAKING: Nigeria’s secret Police (DSS) raid SERAP Office in Abuja

Men from the Department of State Services (DSS) have reportedly invaded the Abuja office of the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP).

Reports indicate that the officers were demanding to see the rights group’s directors. SERAP’s X (Twitter) account posted a statement alleging that the DSS officers are unlawfully occupying their office and calling on President Tinubu to intervene.

The statement reads: “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.”

More to come.

News360 Nigeria recalls that the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) on Sunday had urged President Bola Tinubu to use his “leadership position and good offices to direct the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to immediately reverse the apparently illegal and unconstitutional increase in the pump price of premium motor spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, across its retail outlets”, giving him a 48-hour ultimatum.
