One of the leaders of #EndSARS protesters in Osun State, identified as Emmanuel Adebayo who is also known as “Captain” was arrested by the Directorate of State Service (DSS) on Thursday morning for alleged impersonation.
It was learnt that he was arrested for posing as an officer of the Nigerian Army after a petition addressed to the DSS Command.
