Members of the Ekiti State House of Assembly have taken their protest over the armed men of the Department of State Services (DSS) Friday, March 4, 2016, invasion of the House of Assembly complex and subsequent abduction of four of the assembly members, calling on the international community to intervene and save democracy in Nigeria from imminent collapse.
Carrying placards with various inscriptions; the lawmakers said;
Quote
“We want to state here categorically that no amount of intimidation, harassment and oppression will make us impeach our leader and benefactor, Governor Ayodele Fayose. The DSS should therefore know that the 2006 theory they are working on will not work this time around.”
Some of the inscriptions on the placards read;
Quote
“DSS harassment is about 2018, we won’t be cowed,” DSS, face this impunity must stop! This is democracy, not dictatorship,” DSS, don’t destroy our democracy, respect rule of law,”Fayose remains our leader, we won’t impeach him,” “Nigerians need change, not chains,” “Buhari, face economy and security, not opposition,” and “DSS, free Ekiti lawmakers; we are legislators, not criminals.”

...Simply because their voices wouldn't be heard or they might even got attacked in the process. When your own government fails you, the next thing is to seek international support

What a nation called Nigeria. What was the DSS point on arresting those members. Those people are elected by their own people to represent them. Why is this government so petty?
