LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Voiceofnaija.ng has gathered that the Department of State Security Services, DSS, has arrested Doyin Okupe, a former DG of the Peter Obi/Datti Presidential Campaign.
Reports say he was nabbed on Thursday morning at the Muritala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
One of his lawyers, Tolu Babaleye, confirming the incident, was quoted to have said: “The information reaching me now is that Dr. Doyin Okupe has been arrested at Lagos Airport by the DSS on his way to London.
“The reason according to the source is that he was asked to produce evidence that the Federal High Court Abuja has freed him from the case in which he was convicted and paid fine to the knowledge of the whole world and was allowed to go home.
“When will this harassment stop? Who is after Dr. Doyin Okupe? As at today, the man has no case to answer anywhere, I hereby demand that the DSS should release my client immediately as this is a violation of his freedom of movement, right to liberty and dignity of human person.
“This is unfair as the man’s health is fast failing!”
