- DSS Arrests Enugu Content Creator Over Herdsmen Commentary In a recent incident that has caused concern among citizens and human rights advocates, a popular Enugu based media personality, Evangelist Ebube Joseph, was reportedly arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS). His arrest followed a public statement he made on social media, where he criticized the continued killings and attacks allegedly carried out by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Enugu State.This case has sparked debate around freedom of speech, security, and the role of government in protecting its citizens versus silencing them According to several reports, Evangelist Ebube Joseph voiced his concern about the rising cases of violence in rural areas of Enugu, especially attacks linked to armed herdsmen. He expressed disappointment with the government’s handling of the situation and called for stronger action to protect local communities, particularly in places like Eha Amufu and Isi Uzo, which have seen repeated attacks. However, instead of a public conversation or clarification from the authorities, Joseph was allegedly picked up by the DSS, reportedly on the orders of Governor Peter Mbah. Held in Underground Detention What followed has shocked many: Evangelist Ebube Joseph was detained in an undisclosed DSS facility for 10 days without being charged. During this time, he was not allowed to communicate with his family or lawyer. Human rights groups say this is a violation of his constitutional rights as a Nigerian citizen. After strong public pressure and outcry, he was finally granted bail. But just when his supporters thought the worst was over, he was rearrested and this time secretly taken to court, where he was reportedly charged without any legal representation. Even his family was not informed about the hearing. What This Means for Free Speech This incident has raised serious questions about freedom of speech and citizens’ rights to criticize government policies, especially when lives are at stake. While the government has a responsibility to ensure peace and order, critics argue that silencing voices, especially those raising genuine concerns does not help the situation. In fact, it may only worsen the fear and anger already spreading among citizens. Many civil society groups and media advocates are now calling for: The immediate release of Evangelist Ebube Joseph, A fair trial (if necessary), An independent investigation into the conduct of the DSS, And a clearer position from Governor Mbah on how Enugu State plans to handle both the security issues and protect the rights of its people. The arrest of Joseph is happening at a time when Enugu State is already under tension due to attacks in rural areas by suspected herdsmen. Many villagers have been killed, homes destroyed, and farmlands invaded. This has left residents feeling helpless, and many have been forced to flee their communities. Instead of addressing these security concerns head on, the focus now seems to be shifting This situation is not just about one man; it reflects a larger problem. When the government and security forces start arresting people towards silencing those who are brave enough to speak out. Conclusion expressing their opinions, democracy is at risk. Evangelist Ebube Joseph’s case is a reminder that the fight for justice, security, and freedom of speech must continue. The people of Enugu and Nigeria as a whole deserve better. Citizens must be able to speak the truth without fear, and leaders must listen, act, and protect rather than punish.
