The State Security Service has held Usman Bugaje for criticising the Buhari administration’s handling of insecurity across the country.
According to Peoples Gazette, Bugaje, a politician and scholar, was held by state agents after appearing on AIT.
He has been at the secret police’s custody since 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, sources said.
Mr Bugaje added his voice to growing concerns amongst Nigerians about insecurity. The politician had previously condemned Mr Buhari’s failure to address economy challenges, as well as his sectional appointments.
It was not immediately clear whether the SSS would release Mr Bugaje today.
Mr Bugaje’s arrest came barely a few weeks after the SSS invited then detained Obadiah Mailafia, a former CBN chief who similarly condemned the growing insecurity in the country and accused politicians of being behind the expanding crisis.
