The Department of State Security has allegedly invaded the home of Edna Ulaeto, a staff working with an online publication OrderPaper and took her to unknown destination in her nightwear.
According to a statement made available to the media by OrderPaper the DSS invaded the home of Miss Ulaeto ransacked her home, manhandled her in presence of her family members before taking her away.
“OrderPaper suspects this abduction is related to a recent article that mistakenly reported on a DSS incursion aimed at thwarting an attempt to impeach the Senate President.
“Despite promptly issuing a retraction and public apology, masked men broke into her home, ransacked her belongings, and inflicted significant trauma on her family.
“Witnesses who tried to intervene or document the incident were reportedly intimidated, with some forced to delete footage under threat of arrest.
“The lack of any official communication or notice from the DSS or police raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of the operation.
“Tince her abduction, all attempts to contact Ulaeto have been unsuccessful, heightening fears for her safety.
“This alarming situation has created an atmosphere of fear among the staff at OrderPaper, who now live in uncertainty about what might occur next.
“The publication urgently calls on the public, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), and the international community to demand Ulaeto’s immediate release and ensure her safety.
They invite all to condemn this unlawful assault on press freedom and basic human rights before it escalates further,” said a statement by the publication.
