SERAP described the action as unlawful and part of a broader crackdown on dissent under President Bola Tinubu's administration.
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has condemned the detention of renowned novelist and author, Okey Ndibe, by the operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos State.
SERAP described the action as unlawful and part of a broader crackdown on dissent under President Bola Tinubu's administration.
Ndibe was reportedly detained by DSS operatives upon his arrival in Nigeria from the United States before being released hours later.
Following public outrage, the DSS denied arresting or detaining Ndibe, insisting that its interaction with him was part of an ongoing review of long-standing security watchlists.
