The Department of State Services (DSS) has invited Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate and founder of Baze University, for questioning over comments authorities consider harmful to national stability.
According to security sources, the DSS views some of Datti Baba-Ahmed’s recent public statements as “inciting against the Nigerian State,” prompting his invitation to the agency’s headquarters. While the specifics of the remarks are yet to be officially disclosed, the move underscores growing concern within Nigeria’s security establishment about the tone and impact of political rhetoric in the country.
Datti Baba-Ahmed, a prominent figure in national politics since the 2023 general elections, has remained outspoken on national issues. His invitation by the DSS signals the agency’s intent to scrutinize political commentary it considers capable of heightening tensions or undermining state authority.
The development also highlights the broader debate on freedom of expression, political dissent, and the thin line between criticism and statements deemed threatening to national security.
Further updates are expected following the outcome of the DSS engagement.
