A blogger, Ahmed Olamilekan, has reportedly been arrested by the Department of State Services for allegedly publishing a story on alleged criminal records of Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun in the United States.

Olamilekan’s lawyer, Festus Ogun, said his client had been in detention after he honoured an invitation by the Ogun State command of the secret police.

He accused the governor of instigating his client’s arrest, adding that Abiodun had the right to challenge the publication in court instead of using the DSS to harass the reporter.

Speaking on the development, Ogun said he had just left the DSS office but was not allowed to see his client.

He said, “Ahmed was invited for questioning by the Ogun State command of the Department of State Services over a publication relating to the controversial criminal past of the state governor. Thereafter, he was forced against his will to pull down the story from his news blog.

“On Friday, last week, he was invited again and because my client had nothing to hide, he again honoured their invitation. Since then, he has been held incommunicado. He has not been granted access to his family or lawyer and he has been detained beyond the time contemplated by law. Currently, he is being arbitrarily tortured, intimidated and denied his fundamental rights to liberty guaranteed under Section 35 of the constitution.

“I am just leaving the Ogun State command of the security service; they did not allow me, his legal representative, to have access to him. The law is clear: you cannot detain a suspect beyond 24 or 48 hours, as the case may be.

“Again, I became very worried why the governor would instigate the arrest because in the very first place, when a journalist files a report that the governor feels worried about, he is entitled by law to approach the court for redress. But the governor didn’t do so. I do not think journalism is a crime in this country; why should a journalist be treated in such a despicable manner?”

The DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, denied that the journalist was in the agency’s custody.

“Let the lawyer be truthful to you,” he added.

Ogun later called our correspondent to say the journalist had been transferred to the police command headquarters.

The state Commissioner for Information, Waheed Odusule, said he could not tell the reason for the arrest.

The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Oyeyemi Abimbola, could not be reached for comments as at the time of filling this report.
