The Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi, has ordered the release of Kenneth Okechukwu Nwafor, who was detained since 2022 over alleged links to the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB).A fresh review by the DSS found that Nwafor was wrongfully arrested, prompting the Director-General to award him N5 million in compensation.
This decision comes barely a month after Ajayi ordered the release and compensation of Abuja-based businesswoman, Mrs.
Chineze Ozoadibe.Nwafor was arrested in July 2022 for his alleged involvement in IPOB activities.
