DSS releases a Shiite 24 hours after arrest

Ibrahim Musa, a member of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, generally known as Shiites, was freed by the Department of State Services 24 hours after he was caught and arrested.

On his route to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj, he was allegedly detained at Kano’s Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport.

Abdullahi Usman, a member of the sect, made this announcement in a statement on Thursday night.

He said, “This is announcing to the general public that Mallam Ibrahim Musa, the Editor-in-chief of Almizan newspaper who was abducted by the DSS, has been released.

“Nigeria’s secret police whisked him away at the Aminu Kano International Airport in the early hours of Wednesday, September 27, 2023, while on his way to Saudi Arabia to perform the lesser Hajj.

“The Almizan Editor was released on Thursday and his travel documents have been returned to him. He is presently fine and in a good state of health as he reunites with his family, friends and well-wishers.

“We wish to express our profound gratitude to all and sundry for their prayers and concern over his arrest and detention by the DSS. We say a big thank you to all, God bless you.”
