SSS operatives and police officers took the foreigners, who were white and thought to be Americans by police officials on the site, away in a white Toyota Hilux vehicle.
At the scene, a police officer told Peoples Gazette, “They even entered the hotel and got the manager to show them their CCTV footage so they could locate one of the males and grab his phone.”
Two foreigners were arrested by the State Security Service while staying at Treasure Suites, a hotel located across from the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, for photographing the court from their hotel balcony.
SSS operatives and police officers took the foreigners, who were white and thought to be Americans by police officials on the site, away in a white Toyota Hilux vehicle.
At the scene, a police officer told Peoples Gazette, “They even entered the hotel and got the manager to show them their CCTV footage so they could locate one of the males and grab his phone.”
Outside the hotel, a lady thought to be the manager was seen pleading with SSS officers not to drive the foreigners away, Her cries went unheard.
Another police officer informed The Gazette that the Americans would just be questioned and requested to remove the footage, rather than being tortured.
“They won’t do anything to them; they’ll just ask them to write statements and delete the film they took,” the officer added on the condition of anonymity to avoid being punished for making public comments.
