Protests: DSS quizzes seven Polish nationals

The Department of State Service (DSS) has commenced the interrogation of seven Polish nationals arrested during the #EndBadGovernance protests in Kano State.

The DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, disclosed at a meeting between the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, and members of the Diplomatic Corps on Wednesday in Abuja.

The Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu and the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, were also at the meeting.

He said the Polish citizens were arrested for displaying foreign flags during the protests in some states in the North-West.

Afunanya, however, added that the foreign nationals were not targeted by the secret police.

Several people have been arrested by security agents in many states in the North for displaying Russian flags during the protests organized by a group of Nigerians to express their frustration over the current hardship and other socio-economic problems in the country.
