RevolutionNow: Finally, DSS releases Dan-Halilu 11 days
after arrest
The Department of Security Service (DSS) has finally released Mr.
Ibrahim Dan-Halilu, eleven days after he was arrested at his Kaduna
residence.
Dan-Halilu, a former Politics Editor at DailyTrust newspaper,
was arrested by the intelligence agency over a facebook post he
made allegedly “supporting” #RevolutionNow, a pressure group which
hitherto agitated for a revolution in the country citing ‘abysmal
governance and inept leadership’ by the political class.
An intelligence operative with the DSS told PRNigeria[1] that the erstwhile
DailyTrust Editor was finally released in Kaduna at about 6pm on
Friday, and has since been re-united with his family.
Mr. Dan-Halilu, after a preliminary investigation was released
penultimate Wednesday, but was again re-arrested after the
operatives of DSS in Kaduna received a marching directive from
Abuja that he should be made to undergo further thorough
investigation and ‘rigorous’ questioning.
A family source, who prefers to remain anonymous, confirmed that
Dan-Halilu has been released and is happy to be re-united with his
loved ones after a long while.
The family members and relations, together with teeming
well-wishers are grateful to Almighty God for ensuring that the
ex-DailyTrust staff was released unhurt, and without conviction
over any ‘serious’ offence.
