Read Time:1 Minute, 43 Second
The Department of State Service (DSS) is currently investigating seven Polish nationals who were detained in relation to the violent nationwide demonstration against hunger and hardship in Kano State.
In a meeting held by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tugar, with members of the diplomatic corps on Wednesday, the DSS Spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, made the revelation.
While responding to questions, the DSS Rep explained that they were picked up as a result of their display of foreign flags in the North-West region.
According to him, those picked up are being investigated.
He clarified that their arrest was not a targeted attack on Polish nationals.
Also in attendance at the meeting were the minister of information, Mohammed Idris, a representative of the National Security Adviser, the Inspector General of Police and the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The meeting is held as a result of the nationwide protest across the country, which commenced on August 1, 2024.
The minister of foreign affairs commenced his address by highlighting the Federal Government’s effort to enhance socioeconomic development, which he says has resulted in the cutdown on debt servicing from 90 percent to 68 percent, as well as other interventions to ensure food security, create jobs and investments.
Ambassador Tuggar stated that the past few days have seen bad narratives on social media, which are currently threatening the peace and stability of the nation.
He, however, assured that the Federal Government remained committed to protecting members of the diplomatic corps, as well as Nigerians in line with international laws.
He warned that the government would not spare anyone found guilty of funding the protest, both within and outside the shores of the country.
The DSS had earlier vowed to name sponsors of foreign-flag-flying protesters to promote insurrection in the country.
Speaking at a joint news conference in Abuja on Tuesday, Spokesperson of the Service, Peter Afunanya, said the identities of the persons will soon be made public.
He urged Nigerians to be patient with the Federal Government.
