Nigeria: SSS weaponizes criminal justice to suppress dissent under Tinubu

An opinion piece alleges that under President Tinubu, Nigeria's State Security Service is increasingly using the criminal justice system to harass and intimidate human rights defenders, activists, journalists, and civil society. The claim is an editorial assertion, not a documented incident, and reflects a pattern of concern rather than a specific new event. It matters as an indicator of perceived democratic backsliding in Africa's largest democracy.
