DAILY TRUST

Operatives of the Department of the State Services (DSS) have laid siege to the office of the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) in Abuja.

This comes hours after DSS personnel arrested Joe Ajaero, the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).

Details of the operation at SERAP’s office are still sketchy, but according to a post via X, the legal and advocacy organisation said the operatives demanded to see its directors.

“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,” the post read.

On Sunday, SERAP gave President Tinubu 48 days to reverse the recent hike in the pump price of premium motor spirit (PMS).
