Operatives from the Department of State Services (DSS) have reportedly stormed the Abuja office of the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), a prominent rights advocacy group in Nigeria.
According to initial reports, the DSS officers are seeking to meet with the organization’s directors. The exact reason for their visit remains unclear, but concerns have been raised regarding the motives behind the action.
SERAP, via its official X (formerly Twitter) account, condemned the development, stating: “Officers from Nigeria’s State Security Service (SSS) are currently unlawfully occupying our Abuja office, demanding to see our directors.”
The organization called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene, urging him to “immediately direct the SSS to cease the harassment, intimidation, and attack on the rights of Nigerians.”
Further details on the situation are expected as the story develops.
