DSS Clears Kaduna Herder, Awards ₦3M After Wrongful Terror Link

The Department of State Services has cleared Kaduna herder Nura Idris of alleged Boko Haram links and ordered his release. Idris was arrested in June in Suleja, Niger State, and spent months in DSS custody before an internal review found no evidence against him. The DSS Director-General approved a ₦3 million compensation package and pledged further support to help him rebuild his livelihood. Idris thanked the service for its humane treatment. His release is part of a wider review that has cleared over 30 cases and paid more than ₦300 million to wrongly detained Nigerians. The initiative aims to balance national security with citizens’ rights and boost public confidence.
