The Department of State Services(DSS) has arrested one of the leaders of the ongoing Endbadgovernance protests in the Federal Capital Territory(FCT), Micheal Lenin.
Lenin was reportedly arrested by the DSS at about 2:00 am on Monday at his residence in the Apo area of the FCT.
Speaking with our correspondent, the Director of Mobilisation, Take It Back Movement, Damilare Adenola, said Lenin’s house was raided by the DSS.
He alleged that the DSS also assaulted him during his arrest.
Adenola said, “Lenin has been arrested by the DSS. He was picked up during a raid on his house around
2am.
“He was arrested and tortured in the presence of his family. We are demanding his immediate and unconditional release.“
The DSS spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, could not be reached as of the time of filing this report.
He has yet to respond to a message sent to him.
Lenin, who is the National Coordinator, of the Youth Rights Campaign, was one of the organisers who spoke at a press briefing expressing disappointment with President Bola Tinubu’s broadcast on Sunday.
At the briefing, he said the President’s broadcast demonstrated that he is out of touch with reality in the country.
Lenin, however, said the protest would continue massively on Monday, calling on the citizens to come out in large numbers.
