He explained that Babalola, a student of Mass Communications at Gateway Polytechnic, Abeokuta, was the editor of a campus newspaper known as “GAMPOSA Trumpet”. In the 2019 edition of the newspaper in November 2019, the newspaper published an article titled, “President Buhari does not believe in Nigeria” which was written by Apostle Alfred Tseye-Okotie. He said Babalola was arraigned on six counts bordering on alleged incitement, conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace and others for allegedly publishing critical articles against President Buhari. It was stated that Babalola had informed his lawyers of the plans of the DSS to arrest him even before the actual arrest happened. The Spokesman for the DSS, Peter Afunaya, neither responded to calls nor a text message on Saturday.
