SERAP Accuses DSS of Unlawfully Invading Abuja Office, Faces Defamation Lawsuit
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) maintains that the DSS invaded its Abuja office unlawfully on September 9, 2024, despite reports suggesting otherwise. SERAP refutes claims of contradicting statements by its deputy director and describes the DSS's actions as invasive.
The DSS has filed a 5 billion defamation suit against SERAP, accusing the organization of damaging its reputation. This legal dispute is seen as a strategic move to silence public participation, known as a SLAPP lawsuit.
