February 14, (THEWILL) – The Director of Special Projects and New Media of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC), Femi Fani-Kayode, has narrated how he was grilled for five hours on Monday, by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
The DSS had invited the former Minister of Aviation to its Abuja office, over a tweet, where he alleged a meeting between some military generals and the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, to possibly plot a coup.
Addressing newsmen on Monday, at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja, Fani-Kayode said he was thoroughly grilled, handled professionally without torture and asked to return on Wednesday, for further investigations.
He noted that the experience he had in the DSS custody was not the type he would wish for his enemy.
“I spent about five hours. I was subjected to thorough grilling; they were very thorough and highly professional in their interrogation. And I was asked to go back on Wednesday for further interrogation.
“The place anybody wouldn’t want to go, I think is the DSS. If I were to do it a second time, I won’t tweet this same way”, he said.
Also speaking during the press conference, Director, Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, said, “We were worried when we heard that FFK was invited by the DSS.
“So we contacted our lawyers and our lawyers followed him to the DSS headquarters. If he was detained beyond today, we would have challenged it. We would have taken further steps. But he said the DSS officials were very professional.”
