The Department of State Services (DSS) has denied the arrest of Micheal Adaramoye, aka Micheal Lenin, one of the leaders of the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The Director of Mobilisation, Take It Back Movement, Damilare Adenola, had earlier on Monday told newsmen that DSS operatives had arrested Lenin.
According to Adenola, Lenin was arrested by DSS operatives around 2am at his residence in Apo area of Abuja in the early hours of Monday.
But DSS denied arresting Lenin in a post on its X account on Monday evening.
“The DSS can confirm that Adaramoye Michael (aka Michael Lenin) is not in its custody,” the secret police wrote.
Meanwhile, the Service said it had apprehended some tailors in Kano State responsible for making Russian flags being distributed in the area.
“Some of their sponsors have also been picked. Investigation is ongoing,” it added.
