Micheal Lenin, a prominent leader of the Endbadgovernance protests in Abuja, was arrested early Monday by the Department of State Services (DSS).
Lenin’s arrest follows his criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s recent national address, which he deemed out of touch with the realities of ongoing protests and state violence against demonstrators.
The DSS raid at Lenin’s residence was condemned by activists, who demand his immediate release.
Lenin had called for continued protests, arguing that the President’s response failed to address the protesters’ concerns over governance and state violence.
