The violent nationwide rallies against hunger and hardship in Kano State have been linked to the detention and ongoing investigation of seven Polish nationals, as revealed by the Department of State Service (DSS).
EndBadGovernance: DSS Looks Into The Arrest Of Seven Polish Nationals In Kano
During a meeting on Wednesday with members of the diplomatic corps and Yusuf Tuggar, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, DSS Spokesperson Peter Afunanya revealed this.
In an interview, Afunanya revealed that the reason the people were arrested was because they had flown foreign flags in the North-West during the demonstrations.
He stressed that the arrests were a part of larger measures to keep the peace and look into the circumstances underlying the protests, not a deliberate attempt to target Polish nationals.
