The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has demanded for unconditional release of its member, Buba Galadima, who was allegedly arrested by operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS), on Sunday.
The DSS however denied holding Galadima.
The PDP National Chairman, Mr Uche Secondus, in a statement he issued on Sunday in Abuja, described Galadima a `patriot’, whose patriotism had been previously and strongly highlighted by various Nigerians including President Muhammadu Buhari.
“What crime has he committed? I answer my own question and say none. Mr. Galadima is constitutionally guaranteed a right of freedom of speech and freedom after the speech.”
Secondus said that there were issues of concern in the country that no action had been taken by the law enforcement authorities, “yet a patriot and pro-democracy activist is arrested”.
The spokesman of the APC Presidential Campaign Council Festus Keyamo had called for the arrest of Galadima accusing him of plotting to “release fake presidential result ahead of INEC” and mobilise hoodlums for protests.
