DSS Arrests Osun Cleric Over 'Free Palestine' Video, Sparking Security Concerns
The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested Osun State-based Islamic cleric Sheikh Daood Imran Molaasan following a viral video of him and members of a group calling for 'Free Palestine' protests. Sheikh Molaasan, identified as the leader of the Ta'awunul Muslimeen group, was taken into custody after the footage circulated on social media, raising security concerns.
The arrest is part of an ongoing intelligence-led operation by the DSS to monitor public gatherings and online mobilization that could escalate threats to public order. While no official statement has been issued, the arrest is aimed at preventing potential domestic unrest and spillover from international conflicts.
