Protesters involved in the #EndBadGovernance movement have accused the Department of State Services (DSS) of continued harassment, despite a Federal High Court ruling in Kaduna ordering their release. Activists revealed that after their release, the DSS summoned them to sign agreements restricting their movement and prohibiting public discussion of their detention experience.
The protesters, who were arrested during nationwide protests against corruption and insecurity, were discharged of all charges on October 17, 2024. However, they claim the DSS continues to pressure them, limiting their freedoms. Some activists have reported ongoing health issues and trauma following their detention.
The DSS had reportedly detained 39 individuals during the protests, releasing them gradually over 75 days.
