Protests: DSS grills seven Polish nationals arrested in Kano

The Department of State Service, DSS, says it is currently investigating seven Polish nationals arrested in connection with the violent #EndBadGovernance protests in Kano.
The spokesperson of the DSS, Peter Afunanya, revealed this when the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, held a meeting with members of the Diplomatic Corps on Wednesday.
Reacting to questions, the DSS representative explained that the Polish nationals were picked up over the display of foreign flags during the protests in parts of the North-West.
According to him, those picked up are being investigated, further assuring that their arrest was not a targeted attempt on Polish nationals.
The meeting was attended by Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, a representative of the National Security Adviser, the Inspector General of Police and the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs.
TVN meeting followed the nationwide protest across the country, which commenced on August 1, 2024.
The Foreign Affairs minister highlighted the Federal Government’s efforts to enhance socioeconomic development, which he says had resulted in the reduction of the country’s debt servicing spending from 90 percent to 68 percent.
He added that the government had initiated other interventions to ensure food security, create jobs and promote investments.
Tuggar stated that the past few days have witnessed bad narratives on the social media which he said are currently threatening the peace and stability of the nation.
The minister, however, assured that the Federal Government remained committed to protecting members of the Diplomatic Corps, as well as Nigerians in line with international laws.
He warned that the government would not spare anyone found guilty of funding the protest both from within and outside the shores of the country.
