Enyinnaya Abaribe, the Senate Minority Leader, says report of his arrest by the Department of State Services, DSS, was false, urging people to disregard it.
The reports which were seen on social media handles alleged that the Senator was arrested at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja for wearing “The Dot Nation” T-shirt.
Abaribe in a statement by his media office, however, insisted that he was neither arrested nor accosted by DSS operatives.
“It’s not true, we are here in the office together, I’m with the senator here. Some guys are mismanaging social media because this thing pops up to remind them that he was arrested three years ago.
“Three years ago, he was arrested, today is the anniversary of it. So somebody just quickly claimed he has been arrested. The senator is here in his office.” his media said.
