* Asks DSS to arrest ex-minister
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has urged the Department of State Security (DSS) to arrest the Director of New Media of the Bola Tinubu Campaign, Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK) over his inciting remarks.
Phrank Shaibu, the Special Assistant on Public Communications to Atiku, in a statement on Sunday, also hailed the British envoy, Ben Llewellyn-Jones, for penciling down FFK and others after making inciting comments post-2023 elections in the country.
According to Shaibu, the former Minister of Aviation, Fani-Kayode, has flawed the Secret Service’s call on politicians not to overheat the polity.
He regretted that Fani-Kayode would bring Nigeria into severe chaos if he is left uncontrolled.
He called on Nigerians to regard Fani-Kayode as a joker.
“We acknowledge as timely the statement of the DSS call on politicians not to overheat the polity. But call on the security agency to arrest Fani-Kayode for not heeding the counsel of the DSS when he threatened to make Nigeria ungovernable,” he stated.
Prior to the presidential election, the DSS had quizzed Fani-Kayode on February 13 over his claim that Atiku planning a coup.
