The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested Kogi-born political activist and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Austin Okai, in Abuja.

The arrest, which took place on Wednesday morning, was reportedly carried out on the directive of Kogi State Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo.

Video footage obtained by Elanza shows heavily armed security operatives storming Okai’s residence in the Federal Capital Territory before taking him away.

While no official reason has been given for his arrest, sources suggest it may be connected to his outspoken criticism of the Kogi State government.

Okai, a well-known opposition figure, has frequently condemned the administration’s policies and governance.

His wife, speaking to reporters, claimed that the DSS operatives did not present an arrest warrant before detaining him.

“They came to arrest him at our home in Abuja without a warrant,” she said.

“They ransacked our house, forced their way inside, and took him away. I asked for a warrant, but they had none.”

She further alleged that Okai’s personal gadgets were confiscated during the operation.

As of the time of this report, the DSS has not issued any official statement regarding Okai’s detention.
