Security sources have authoritatively confirmed that the Director General of the State Security Service, September 19, 2024, directed the immediate release of protesters who were arrested for their various roles in the #EndBadGovernance protests.
Competent sources stated that those released commended the gesture and expressed optimism on the humane face with which the Service conducted the investigation.
For instance, it was revealed that six persons held in Kaduna had regained freedom, having been cleared at the end of investigations.
Meanwhile, it was reliably gathered that three are being prosecuted for established prima facie cases.
The sources further noted that the DG of the secret police reiterates citizen’s right to peaceful protest as enshrined in the constitution and regard for the rule of law.
However, the source also hinted that the DG is resolute on upholding the mandate of the Service of decisively investigating and bringing to justice those who exploit such rights to perpetrate crime.
