Arevolutionary activist, Francis Nwapa, has raised the alarm that an activist, Khalid Aminu, might have been secretly relocated by the Department of State Services (DSS).
Nwapa, who took to his X account to raise the alarm, however warned that should anything happened to Khalid, activists and civic groups would occupy all DSS offices in Nigeria.
Aminu was arrested on August 3rd during the #EndBadGovernance nationwide protest against hunger and exacerbating insecurity under President Bola Tinubu administration.
He wrote: “There’s suspicion of possible disappearance of Khalid Aminu @KHALYD16 in the custody of @OfficialDSSNG, let it be clear that if anything happens to Khalid we shall occupy all DSS offices in Nigeria.
“He has been kept incommunicado since August 3rd. Release him Now!
“Daniel Akande has been incarcerated since 1st September after being abducted by @PoliceNG IRT in his church. Since then has not been arraigned in court. The lawless in Nigeria under the fascist regime of @officialABAT is an invitation to anarchy.
“We demand his immediate Release,” he said.

SaharaReporters had last week reported that the Youth Rights Campaign (YRC) strongly condemned the bail conditions imposed on Adaramoye Michael Lenin, Mosiu Sodiq, and eight others arrested and detained in connection with the recent #EndBadGovernance protests.

The protesters, who have been incarcerated for over seven weeks, were granted bail by Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja, with conditions the YRC described as excessive and unjust.
“These conditions, which require a surety each with property in Abuja and N10 million, not only reflect a troubling disregard for the fundamental rights of ordinary people but also reveal a judiciary system that does not care a hoot about the legitimate grievances expressed by the Nigerian populace in the August protest,” the YRC stated.
The group in a statement through its National Secretary, Francis Nwapa, expressed concerns over the financial demands of the bail, noting that the stringent conditions make it nearly impossible for the detainees to secure their release.
In addition to Lenin and Sodiq, the others facing similar charges are Adeyemi Abiodun Abayomi, Suleiman Yakubu, Opaluwa Eleojo Simeon, Angel Love Innocent, Buhari Lawal, Bashir Bello, Nuradeen Khamis, and Abdulsalam Zubairu.
The YRC revealed that Lenin, the group’s National Coordinator, was arrested alongside Sodiq in the early hours of August 5, 2024, by operatives of the National Intelligence Agency, under the directive of National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu.
In addition to demanding the immediate release of Lenin and the others, the YRC called for the unconditional release of all detainees arrested during the August protests, including 39 individuals held in Kuje prison without trial since August 22.
They also highlighted the cases of Daniel Akande, who has been detained at the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) facility since September 2, and Khalid Aminu, who has been in DSS custody since early August.
