The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested the organisers of the protest against “insecurity and bad governance”.

In a statement on Saturday, Abdulazeez Suleiman, spokesman of Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG), said the arrested persons were invited to the office of the secret police for questioning but detained afterwards.

He identified those arrested as Nastura Sharif, Balarabe Rufai, Aminu Adam and Muhammad Nawaila.

“The #EndInsecurityNow protests against the rampant killings in Northern Nigeria and displacement of hundreds of communities has come under intense pressure and intimidation in the last few hours by the DSS which is hell-bent on suppressing the tearful voice of northerner,” the statement read.

The Coalition on Friday had alleged security operatives of plots to stop its planned protest in the north.
