A man identified as the head of the Palestinian community in Nigeria has been taken into custody by a counter-terrorism unit during a security operation in the capital city.
Residents around the arrest scene said a convoy of armed officers moved in swiftly, cordoned off the area, and escorted the community leader away for questioning. The operation was carried out under tight secrecy, leaving many unsure of the reasons behind the move.
While officials have not issued any formal explanation, sources within security circles hinted that the action is linked to broader intelligence investigations. The arrest has generated unease among community members, who
are demanding transparency on the matter.
Diplomatic watchers believe the development could spark high-level discussions between Nigerian authorities and representatives of Middle Eastern nations, given the potential international sensitivities involved.
As of Tuesday evening, no agency had publicly confirmed the arrest or released details of the charges, leaving the situation clouded in uncertainty.
