DSS arrest Buhari’s critic, Babatunde Gbadamosi

One of President Muhammadu Buhari’s fierce critics, Babatunde Gbadamosi has been arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS.

This was disclosed by
Human Rights lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, on Wednesday.

Adegboruwa said operatives of the secret police whisked Gbadamosi to an unknown destination where his family and lawyers were all denied access to him.

According to Adegboruwa, “Those who arrested him have so far not disclosed their identities or their ultimate destination.

“It is disheartening now that the DSS has become like a Gestapo organisation, now being deploy by the State to harass citizens and opponents of government.

“The Constitution has granted a right to personal liberty to every citizen, which right can only be breached upon reasonable suspicion that a criminal offence has been committed and if this is the case, the suspect must be released on bail, or charged to court within 24 hours of arrest, if it is not a capital offence.

“My concern now is that Mr. Gbadamosi is being denied access to his family and his lawyers and he is being taken to an unknown destination.

“Accordingly, we will hold the government responsible for the welfare and state of health of Mr. Gbadamosi whilst he is in the custody of the DSS”.
