Again, DSS Nabs Sokoto Man Over Planned ‘Hunger’ Protest
The Department for State Service (DSS) has reportedly arrested a Nigerian Youth, Aliyu Sanusi, over the planned nationwide protests against bad governance in Nigeria.
Sanusi was arrested on Monday evening in the Sama Road area of Sokoto, the state capital.
Former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, made known Sanusi’s arrest in a post on his X platform on Tuesday.
Sowore while demanding Sanusi’s immediate release criticized the DSS for what he described as “lawless” behavior.

“The lawless @OfficialDSSNG has arrested Aliyu Sanusi for printing and distributing #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria material in Sokoto state.
“He was arrested yesterday evening from the Sama Road Area in Sokoto. The DSS is directed to release Aliyu Sanusi immediately,” Sowore stated.
This arrest comes shortly after the DSS released another Nigerian youth, Bashir Abubakar, who was detained in Kano for supporting the planned nationwide protest against economic hardship.
Abubakar was released on Monday, but the DSS reportedly instructed him to return the T-shirts he had printed to promote the protest, according to Barrister Harun Magashi, Abubakar’s lawyer and former running mate to Sowore in the 2023 elections.
