DSS arrests Senator Abaribe, conducts search on his residence

• PDP, Ohanaeze Condemn Arrest, Demand His Release

The Senator representing Abia South senatorial district, Enyinnaya Abaribe, was arrested yesterday by DSS personnel at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, where he went to attend a function. A source close to the senator revealed to The Guardian yesterday that the security personnel took him to his Abuja residence to conduct a search alongside his lawyers.

It was not clear why the vocal lawmaker was arrested, but Abaribe has been very critical of President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration’s policies in recent times.

It would be recalled that on June 7, Abaribe had asked Buhari to declare December 31 as Democracy Destruction Day to mark the coup he led to end Nigeria’s Second Republic in 1983. Abaribe stated this on the floor of the Senate, while contributing to debate on the President’s declaration of June 12 as Decmocracy Day.


Reacting to the arrest, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed fears over the safety of Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, (PDP Abia), who was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS).

The party lamented that the Gestapo-style arrest of Abaribe has further confirmed the earlier alarm that the APC-led federal government has commenced a total clampdown on the opposition and perceived opponents of President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2019 re-election bid.

The party alleged that the clampdown on Senator Abaribe might be in furtherance of the moves to intimidate and emasculate members of the National Assembly who are known for their outspokenness against the constitutional violations and misrule of the APC administration.

The PDP noted that “the federal government has given no reasons for the arrest and detention of Senator Abaribe, who has been kept incommunicado without access to his lawyers and associates.

The party also noted the apprehension of Nigerians following numerous alleged plots by the Federal Government to frame up other lawmakers, including Senate President Bukola Saraki, Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremmadu, as well as Senators Dino Melaye and Shehu Sani.

“The army in the name of “Operation Python Dance” invaded Nnamdi’s home and destabilised normalcy there.

If you are arrested for not committing any crime and your father is asked to come to bail you,he is absolutely free to allow an APC miscreant like you to rot in jail but not Biafrans.

What are they arresting Abaribe for? So anybody who is critical of this fulani govt led by brain-dam@ged ideoots will keep having his rights being trampled upon.

Have they arrested sheikh gumi?

This is what I suspected would happen simply because d man wore a Polo. It doesn't change anything. Arresting and intimidating pple won't change their ideologies. They are who they are.

Dot people sef
So in d absence of kanu Dem don get new president (president of dot nation)

Buhari's dictatorship unraveling. You can not rule by intimidation in a democracy. Nigeria is no longer one. It shall be to your tent oh Nigerians very soon.

Old newspaper.

Headlines.
"How Buhari came to destroy Nigeria.

People are been arrested for being a Nigerian.

The article is old.

Bukola Saraki is not the Senate President nor is Ekweremmadu deputy Senate President.

Did Army ransack Nnamdi Kanu's resident in 2021?

An interpretation of the law, according to the Biafra Ministry of Injustice.

Buhari is worsening the matter, buhari too Mumu

From all indication he paid the money for failure to produce Nnamdi Kanu. If he didn't pay the fact that Kanu jump bail over a year ago and the administration has found it difficult to bring him to book then, they are complicit in his jumping bail. As a matter of fact, I did write that what surprises me about the APC administration is refusal to call for the extradition of Kanu.
