The Take-It-Back Movement (TIB) has raised concerns over the arrest of its organizer in Kano State, Zubair A. Zubair.
In a post on its social media platform, TIB reported that Zubair was arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) early Thursday. While the reasons for his arrest remain unclear, sources suggest it may be related to a critical Facebook post he made about the government.
TIB stated that Zubair is being transferred to Abuja and demanded his immediate and unconditional release from DSS custody.
