In a statement, Dagga Tolar, spokesperson for the Movement for a Socialist Alternative, said the agitation for the release of the detainees was not over until the four activists remaining in unlawful detention were freed by the DSS.
The group called on Nigerians and the international community to agitate for the immediate release of the activists.
It said, “The cross-section of capitalist-ruling class in Nigeria have proven itself incapable of addressing fundamental economic and social issues because of the man-eat-man nature of every capitalist society.”
The MSA urged the working class and poor masses to come together to build a united and enduring struggle to displace capitalism.
