DSS Takes Over SERAP Abuja Office

Officers from the Department of State Services (DSS) have taken control of the Abuja office of the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), an action the organization has labeled as an “unlawful occupation.”

In a statement shared on SERAP’s X handle on Monday, the group reported that DSS officers are insisting on meeting with the organization’s directors. SERAP called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene, urging him to take immediate action.

“President Tinubu must immediately direct the DSS to cease the harassment, intimidation, and violation of the rights of Nigerians,” the statement read.

This development comes just 24 hours after SERAP called on President Tinubu to use his authority to instruct the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited to reverse the controversial and potentially unconstitutional hike in the pump price of petrol at its retail outlets.Top of Form

Finidi: Osimhen Hasn’t Apologized for Social Media Controversy Yet

Former Super Eagles head coach Finidi George has revealed that Victor Osimhen has yet to apologize for his social media outburst that disrespected him. The incident occurred after Osimhen publicly criticized Finidi on social media, following reports that the coach had accused him of withdrawing from national team games.

Finidi shared that, despite reaching out to Osimhen, the forward has not apologized. “I sent him a message, telling him it wasn’t the right way to react. Just because someone told you that the coach said something, doesn’t mean you should address me as if I made those comments in an interview,” Finidi explained.

When asked about the possibility of Osimhen being banned from the Super Eagles as punishment, Finidi declined to comment, stating, “I don’t know. He’s already part of the team, so let him be. We cannot crucify him. He made a mistake, we’ve moved on, and life goes on.”

Montpellier's president, Laurent Nicollin, welcomed Onumonu to the team, saying, “I’m delighted that Ifeoma has joined us to strengthen our attack. I hope she quickly adapts to her new surroundings and brings a lot to the team.”

DSS Detains NLC President Joe Ajaero

The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested and detained Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.

Benson Upah, Head of Information for the NLC, confirmed the arrest, stating that Ajaero was scheduled to attend the Trade Union Congress conference in London, which began the same day. The union has not been informed of Ajaero's current location, but they received a message from him confirming that the DSS had detained him.

In a subsequent statement, the NLC declared: "Comrade Ajaero has been detained without any legal warrant. Joe Ajaero is not a fugitive, and his detention is a clear act of lawlessness and intimidation. Restricting a lawful citizen's freedom is an affront to our democratic and natural rights as workers and citizens."

Ajaero’s arrest follows police summons he answered on August 28. He was released the following day after appearing before law enforcement. The initial summons from the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Intelligence Response Team (IRT), was related to allegations of "criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, treasonable felony, subversion, and cybercrime."

A second police invitation requested that Ajaero and NLC Secretary General Emmanuel Ugboaja appear for questioning regarding allegations of criminal intimidation, public disturbance, and malicious damage.

Accompanied by human rights lawyer Femi Falana and others, Ajaero complied with the police invitation at the Force Headquarters in Abuja. Afterward, he returned to the NLC headquarters, where he addressed a crowd of union members who had gathered in solidarity. Ajaero affirmed that the labour movement remains the most patriotic organization in Nigeria and vowed that the union would not compromise its values, regardless of any challenges.

The police invitation sparked controversy, with the NLC and other unions accusing the government of attempting to intimidate labour leaders. This followed a police raid on the NLC national secretariat in Abuja.
