APC Director of New Media, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode
The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC PCC) yesterday frowned at a new invitation by the Nigerian Police to its Director of New Media, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, over a matter being currently investigated by the Department of State Services (DSS).
The former Minister of Aviation had been grilled on Monday by the DSS for about five hours over a tweet on an alleged meeting a presidential candidate had with some military top brass in Abuja.
The security agency asked him to return yesterday for further interrogation.
But on Tuesday night, the Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB) of the Nigeria Police Force sent him an invitation.
In a statement yesterday in Abuja, the APC PCC’s Director of Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga, asked the police to allow the DSS to complete its work and leave the former minister alone.
The statement reads: “Despite the well-publicised invitation of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode by the DSS and the report that the secret police asked him to return for further investigation today (Wednesday), we were surprised that the police have also jumped into the same matter.
“On Tuesday, the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) for Federal Investigation Bureau also invited Fani-Kayode for questioning. (The Nation)
