An activist and a member of the Solidarity Network for Workers’ Rights, has been arrested by the Nigerian police.

SaharaReporters learnt that Comrade Akande Daniel Babatunde, who is also a member of the Network of Abuja Left Groups, was picked in church during service on Sunday by the Inspector General of Police’s Intelligence Response Team (IRT) at Guzape District in the Federal Capital Territory.

SNWR has condemned the arrest, revealing that his arrest is in connection with his alleged role in the recent 10-day #EndBadGovernance protests.

In a statement on Sunday evening by the group’s Coordinator, Segun Ogun and Secretary, Lateef Adams, SNWR said, “The arrest occurred during a church service, where the officers falsely claimed it was related to a murder case to justify their actions. Both Comrade Daniel and his wife had their smartphones confiscated.

“From reliable information gathered by his lawyer, we understand upon arrival at the IRT facility, Comrade Daniel was questioned only once regarding whether he had received any funds during the August protests, to which he responded in the negative.

“Following this brief interaction, he was placed in handcuffs without further explanation. We condemn this arbitrary and unlawful detention and demand the immediate release of Comrade Daniel.

“His arrest is an affront to justice and an example of the ongoing attempts to intimidate and suppress voices of dissent in our country. We call on all relevant authorities to address this abuse of power and ensure that the rights of citizens are protected.”

Is it a crime to help plan n organize protest?

Renewed Hope

Tinubu trying so hard to silence everyone, but it won't be possible. Police knows how to arrest, but can't arrest kidnappers and herdsmen killing people on daily basis

..eshin baba bullion vans on the beat..doing more emilokan than he can chop..

....haaa cocain..

Misdirected energy and resources!

You don't know that APC has long criminalised the right of protest?

They can't arrest kidnappers and bandits in government houses, but can arrest an innocent citizen in a place of worship.

This serious ooo

Nigerias problems are larger than Nigeria itself..

Instead make you jejely dey your dey, you go dey allow some state actors use you, you go tell stories ooo.

Wetin you for allow those Hatred infested people carry out their agenda themselves so that they can kollect in full.

People like Macaroni, Falx hide and Sowore run go obodo oyinbo but you go dey chest everything, my brother wetin your eye see Na you know ooo.

Nigerians were warned about tinubu and his wickedness before the presidential election , but some of them didn't listen . Oya, see am na

Is this a military regime?

This country is messed up
Arresting someone all in the name of protest...

Tinubu is a disaster

Not just "Herdsmen" but also, IPOB, BokoHaram, "Bandits", "Unknown Gunmen", ESN have been killing and kidnapping people daily. Yet Tinubu is only efficiently tracking and arresting protestors and journalists.

A few scape goat here and there.

MEEVEET:

1. It is a crime to receive funds from foreign sources ( including foreigner living in Nigeria) to organise protest or even anything to do politically.
2. It is a crime to organise protest that calls for change of government through an undemocratic means. Protesting with Russian flags, calling for military take overs are crimes!

You can see the only question they asked was whether he received any funds. So, organising protests can be a crime.

This thing will get to a conclusion soon.

Misrule in the name of governing, and never welcoming criticism of your bestial rule and maladministration, someday highest power will prove to you that you are indeed a mortal

So Tinubu hates protests against his government like this?
.
Yet he was entirely comfortable leading protests against the GEJ government and nobody demonized him for it...

This thing Tinubu is looking for, he'll soon see it.

Unfortunately this is the Nigeria we have found ourselves today under the so called APC government. It's a very big shame on the president. This regime is a dictatorship one, worse than abacha.

They are asking if he received funds regarding the protest; what about those who received funds from people in power to protest against the protesters. This government are just going to make things worse, I wonder how Mr. Tinubu plans to contest in 2027. Anyway I know he's already planning the worse election rigging ever. He should be ready to kill Nigerians. In all this oga president remember say na God dey give life.

Tinubu be careful na express you dey go

So even a criminal who participated in a protest automatically become a saint and must be allowed to roam freely?

Go to nearby police station and start the protest there

Ask your Atiku the sponsor of the bandits and kidnappers. And protesters Have you heard him or Obi condemn the criminals, rather they criticize the government.

That there only achievement. No past achievement to campaign with

Please I'm just concerned, has any terrorist, herdsmen or kidnapper been arrested in this regime? I'm just confused. Or are they government workers.

The same person that said he fought for the entrenchment of democracy is the same man that is stiffling the political space.

It is very unfortunate.

Misplaced priority! Keep making more enemies

Arrest kid.... wetin . Dead body go surplus oOoOO

I think everyone must stand up to this baboon.
The major opposition candidates must rise and demand the release of all protesters or else they should lead another protest.

Enough is enough
