Dahiru Hamza, known as DJ Zariya from Tudun Wada, Kaduna, shared his experience: “I was arrested on August 8, 2024, and while we were detained, there was no torture or starvation. We were released without needing to pay bail, and we were instructed to retrieve our sound systems by the Director General’s order.”
Hamza explained that he had been misinformed by some protest organizers, who claimed to have obtained permission from security agencies for the demonstration in Kaduna. He also called on the government to focus on creating job opportunities for Nigerian youth.
Isa Abdullahi, also known as DJ SP, supported Hamza’s account, stating there was no mistreatment during their detention, and he was permitted to communicate with his wife without restrictions. He thanked the DSS Director General for their release.
Furthermore, Khaleed, the protest coordinator who had hired the DJs, was also released after all charges against him were dropped, following the Director General’s directive. He has since been reunited with his family.
The freed protesters expressed their appreciation for the DSS’s treatment and called for increased transparency and government accountability in addressing the issues facing Nigerian youth.
