An audio recording circulating online has sparked fresh debate after the President of the Borno State Youths Association (BOSYA), Kaigama, was heard claiming that he anticipated his arrest by the Department of State Services (DSS), while also alleging that the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, wanted him detained over his public comments and media disclosures.
In the recording, Kaigama claimed he had been aware that security operatives were monitoring his activities and suggested that any move against him would be connected to statements he had made in the media. He further alleged that the National Security Adviser sought his detention because of those disclosures.
The authenticity of the audio has not been independently verified, and the allegations contained in the recording remain unsubstantiated. Neither the Office of the National Security Adviser nor the DSS had publicly responded to the claims at the time of publication.
The recording has since gained traction across social media platforms, drawing mixed reactions from members of the public, with supporters calling for transparency while others urged caution pending official clarification.
The development comes amid growing public interest in issues surrounding freedom of expression, national security, and the relationship between state institutions and outspoken civil society figures.
Observers are expected to watch closely for any official response from the relevant authorities as the controversy continues to unfold.
