DSS lays siege at SERAP’s office after demanding reversal of petrol price hike
After the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) gave President Bola Tinubu a 48-hour deadline to reverse the recent hike in the pump price of premium motor spirit (PMS), operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have laid siege at the office of the social rights organisation.
SERAP made this known via X (formerly Twitter), saying: “Officers from Nigeria’s State Security Service (SSS) are presently unlawfully occupying SERAP’s office in Abuja, asking to see our directors.
President Tinubu must immediately direct the SSS to end the harassment, intimidation and attack on the rights of Nigerians”.
This is coming after the rights group had urged President Tinubu to direct the National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, to quickly reverse the outrageous pump price of premium motor spirit, PMS.
