The online reports that the Senate Minority Leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe, was arrested by the Department of State Services, DSS, over ‘The Dot Nation T-shirt’ is false.
This is coming on the heels of the denial by Abaribe himself, who urged the public to disregard it.
There had be reports that the Abia State senator was arrested at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja for donning “The Dot Nation” T-shirt.
However, the lawmaker clarified that he did not have any encounter with DSS operatives and could not have been arrested.
His media aide told Sahara Reporters: “It’s not true, we are here in the office together, I’m with the senator here. Some guys are mismanaging social media because this thing pops up to remind them that he was arrested three years ago.
“Three years ago, he was arrested, today is the anniversary of it. So somebody just quickly claimed he has been arrested. The senator is here in his office.”
