The Department of State Services (DSS) has released Atiku Abubakar Isah, the factional president of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), after holding him in custody for nearly two months.

According to SaharaReporters, Isah was handed over to his family and legal representatives on Thursday, following weeks of delay despite meeting the bail conditions set by the court.

Earlier that day, reports claimed the DSS had refused to release him, citing pending paperwork submitted on Wednesday.

However, shortly after the report gained public attention, DSS operatives contacted Isah’s family and legal team, asking them to come to their Abuja facility to receive him.

Isah had appeared in court on Tuesday dressed in black, said to be recovering from injuries allegedly sustained during an attack by a rival NANS faction.

He was granted bail in the sum of ₦5 million, with one surety in like sum.

His lawyer, Marshal Abubakar of Falana & Falana Chambers, stated that the DSS charged him with “inciting public disturbance and impersonating a public officer.”
