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
