According to information obtained by State Reporters, Lenin was arrested around 2am on Monday at his residence in the Apo area of the nation’s capital city by DSS operatives.
Confirming the development, the Director of Mobilisation, Take It Back Movement, Damilare Adenola, told Punch that Lenin’s house was raided by the DSS.
He alleged that the DSS also assaulted him during his arrest.
“Lenin has been arrested by the DSS. He was picked up during a raid on his house around 2am.
