The Department of State Services (DSS) operatives have invaded the Abuja office of the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP).
SERAP said the DSS officers were asking to see the rights group’s directors. It described the action as an ‘unlawful occupation’.
In a terse post on X.com, the rights groups said, “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.”
This is coming barely 24 hours after the organisation urged Tinubu to leverage his leadership and authority to instruct the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to promptly reverse the seemingly illegal and unconstitutional hike in the pump price of premium motor spirit, commonly known as petrol, at its retail outlets.
