The convener of Concerned Nigerians, Deji Adeyanju said Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre is not responsible for the arrest and detention of “BuhariMustGo” protesters by the Department of State Services, DSS, in his church in Abuja.
Adeyanju, who absolved Enenche of all involvement in the arrest of the activists said the clergyman had made several attempts to effect the release of the activists, but the DSS had refused.
Abuja-based human rights activist said the DSS claimed the anti-Buhari protesters were in the church to cause a religious riot.
According to Adeyanju, the incident was an indication that the President Muhammadu Buhari’s government was that of a tyrant.
Adeyanju stated this in a post on his Facebook page.
He wrote: “DAY 5: The DSS has refused to release the Abuja 5 Buhari Must Go protesters who were arrested at Dunamis church despite all efforts by Pastor Paul Enechie to get them released.
“The DSS are now claiming the protesters were trying to instigate religious riots by going to the church. The tyranny of the Buhari regime is laughable. Like I said, the church had no hand in the arrest and detention of the protesters.
“I know first hand all the steps the church has made to get them released. Even today, the pastor has made several efforts. And I’m not been religious here, just stating the fact.”
