The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has condemned the reported detention of novelist and author Okey Ndibe by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
SERAP described the action as arbitrary and a violation of fundamental human rights, stating that no individual should be detained for peacefully exercising their right to freedom of expression. The organisation also alleged that the incident reflects a growing pattern of intimidation targeting critics, activists, and civil society groups under the current administration.
