Kola Edokpayi Reportedly Arrested by DSS Over Pro-Traoré Rally

Kola Edokpayi, a well-known activist from Edo State, has been reportedly arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) following his involvement in organizing a rally in support of Burkina Faso’s revolutionary leader, Captain Ibrahim Traoré.

Sources say Edokpayi’s arrest is linked to the perceived political undertones of the rally, which drew attention for aligning with pan-African revolutionary sentiments.

 The DSS has yet to release an official statement regarding the arrest, but the incident has sparked reactions online, with many demanding clarity on the reasons behind the detention.
