Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe of Abia South senatorial district was reportedly arrested yesterday by DSS personnel at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja, where he had gone to attend a function.
According to a source close to the senator, security personnel took him to his Abuja residence yesterday to conduct a search alongside his lawyers.
It was unclear why the outspoken lawmaker was arrested, but Abaribe has recently been highly critical of President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration’s policies.
