The Senator representing Abia north, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has been arraigned before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Abaribe was arraigned on Tuesday, June 26, after he was whisked away by operatives of the Department of State Service on Friday.
He was at the court with lawyer, some friends and associates.
The Senator, a former deputy governor of Abia state, has been a vocal critic of the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
According to his special adviser, Nwokoma Okorie, Senator Abaribe was picked up on Friday, June 22, at his barber’s shop in the Apo area of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
Supporters and associates of the senator have been on social media announcing his arrest.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had on Friday, June 22, in Abuja decried the arrest of Senator Abaribe by the DSS.
In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party expressed fears over the safety of the senator.
Describing Abaribe’s arrest as “gestapo-style’’, the PDP said it had further confirmed earlier alarm that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government has commenced total clampdown on the opposition.
