DSS Arrests Sowore’s Associate On His Way From Spain
Operatives of the Department of State Security, DSS has arrested anti-corruption activist and journalist, Chido Onumah on his return from Spain to Nigeria.
Onumah, an associate of detained convener of the RevolutionNow protest, Omoyele Sowore and columnist in both Sahara Reporters and Premium Times, was picked up at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on his return from a trip abroad.
Peter Afunanya, DSS spokesman, was yet to respond to enquiries on the development as of press time.
But the African Centre for Media & Information Literacy (AFRICMIL), a body he founded confirmed the arrest of its Coordinator on Sunday evening, by operatives of the State Security Service (SSS).
According to a press release signed Abdulaziz Abdulaziz on behalf of AFRICMIL, Mr Onumah was picked up at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on his return from a trip abroad.
“AFRICMIL condemns in strong terms the unjustifiable arrest of Mr Onumah and demands his immediate and unconditional release.
“Waylaying law-abiding citizens should not be turned into the preoccupation of an entire security outfit.
“The arrest of Mr Onumah, coming at the heels of harassment of other critical voices, smacks of grotesque days of the Nigerian history that Mr Onumah and his comrades fought steely against”, the statement concluded.
