‘Dead’ Ekiti Lawmaker Produced by DSS

By Correspondent

The Department of State Security (DSS), on Thursday, paraded a detained member of the Ekiti State House of Assembly at its headquarters in Abuja. It would be recalled that the lawmaker representing Efon-Alaaye was said to have died in custody. A spokesperson for the DSS, Abdullahi Garba explained that the lawmaker was being held over very weighty but unspecified security issues. According to him, “You may have been aware of the recent situation in Ekiti State in which the DSS was accused of abducting four lawmakers. “The fact is that a lawmaker, Afolabi Akanni, was duly invited by the Service over some serious breaches involving state security and for which he has some explanations to make; these breaches fall under the purview of the DSS to investigate. “This briefing has become necessary in order to debunk a rumour which is being spread in Ekiti State by some mischief makers to the effect that Akanni has died in custody. “Nigerians and Ekiti people, in particular, have seen that Afolabi is hale and hearty as he is being presented to the media. “The DSS, therefore, warns all those who have planned to make a meal out of this to desist from it and steer clear from trouble as the Service will not hesitate to prosecute anyone or persons who may engage in violent actions of any kind. “In a similar vein, all law-abiding Ekiti residents should go about their businesses as the Service assures them of full protection by security agencies.”
