Operatives of the Department of State Services on Tuesday swooped on a secondary school in Ado -Ekiti , Ola Oluwa Muslim Grammar School , and arrested some members of staff .
Those arrested were the Secretary to the Principal , one Mrs Olagbemi , and an Office Assistant, one Mrs Ogunrinde .
They were arrested for allegedly collecting Permanent Voter Cards from teachers .
The Principal of Olaoluwa Muslim Grammar School, Ado- Ekiti, Mr Sunmonu Olaoye, confirmed the arrest to journalists .
He said the DSS agents came in some hilux vehicles and right from the gate of the school, started harassing people as if they were on a war mission .
“ The DSS operatives were in black uniforms and also wore black masks and headed for my office . I wasn ’t in the office but I was within the premises to monitor ongoing third term examinations . Some of my staff members were in my office making photocopies of their documents including their PVCs .
“ I allowed them to make use of the school’ s facilities because I don ’t want anything to disrupt the ongoing examinations . The DSS people just swooped on the teachers , seized their documents including their PVCs and took away two members of staff . They also locked up my office and denied us access to examination materials we were to give to our students .
“ I don ’t know when making photocopies of documents including PVCs became an offence . One of the operatives even called my number , saying I must report in their office within an hour or I would be treated as a common criminal . ”
