Five youths detained by the Department of State Services last Sunday for wearing #BuhariMustGo T-shirts at Dunamis Gospel Church, Abuja, have instituted suits at the Federal High Court, Abuja against the secret police, and the Senior Pastor of the church, Paul Enenche. They also want their immediate and unconditional release from the custody of the DSS. Joining the first and fourth respondents – the DSS and Enenche – in the suits are the DSS Director-General, Yusuf Bichi; and the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN, as second and third respondents respectively. The PUNCH had reported that the youths were arrested at the church in Abuja on Sunday for wearing shirts that bore the inscription, ‘Buhari Must Go’. Human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, who is one of the lawyers representing the youths, was subsequently barred from seeing the youths when he visited the DSS headquarters during the week.
