Chido Onumah, a journalist and rights activist has been arrested by the DSS.
He was picked by agents of the DSS on Sunday in Abuja upon arrival from Spain.
Onumah is also the coordinator of African Centre for Media & Information Literacy, AFRICIMIL.
In a statement announcing the arrest, AFRICMIL demanded the immediate release of the journalist.
The statement issued by Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, read: “AFRICMIL condemns in strong terms the unjustifiable arrest of Mr. Onumah and demands his immediate and unconditional release.
“Waylaying law-abiding citizens should not be turned into the preoccupation of an entire security outfit.
“The arrest of Mr. Onumah, coming at the heels of harassment of other critical voices, smacks of grotesque days of the Nigerian history that Mr. Onumah and his comrades fought steely against.”
