SSS “arrests” Junaid Mohammed over comments about President Jonathan

December 6,2013


Junaid Mohammed

Nigeria’s secret police, the State Security Service, on Friday interrogated Junaid Mohammed, a staunch critic of President Goodluck Jonathan and the Federal Government, over inciting comments credited to him.

The politician was reportedly summoned to the SSS headquarters in Abuja, where he was quizzed for several hours over comments credited to him suggesting there would be violence should President Jonathan stands for reelection.

A source in the SSS claimed Mr. Junaid told investigators he was misquoted out of context and that he would not do anything to undermine the peace and security of his own country.

Our source said he was cautioned and then released after he gave an undertaken to refrain from making incendiary comments in future.
Contacted by PREMIUM TIMES, Mr. Junaid confirmed the SSS “invited” him for a chat and that he was released shortly thereafter.
“It is all over,” he said in a telephone interview. “They (SSS operatives) were professional in their dealing with me. I can see they are a bunch of educated people who are equally concerned about this country.”

Mr. Mohammed, a social critic and second republic parliamentarian, is known for divisive and incendiary remarks.

Recently, he was quoted to have said “blood would flow on the streets of Nigeria should President Jonathan insist on running for the Presidency in 2015.”

In early 2012, he gave a controversial interview where he said the North of Nigeria was ready to break up and go its separate way.
After his “blood would flow” remark, Abuja-based lawyer, Kayode Ajulo, released a statement calling on the Inspector General of Police and director of the State Security Services to arrest Mr. Mohammed.

“I, as a law abiding citizen and one who has great hope for the future of this great nation, therefore, use this medium to call on the Inspector General of Police, the Director State Security Service and other security agencies of Government to look into the underlying messages being passed across to insurgents by these individuals particularly the recent one made by Dr. Junaid Mohammed, ” Mr. Ajulo had said.

jmaine: They gave him the Pastor Tunde Bakare keep shut dose .. .

kingoflag: Yeah, whatever. Funny enough, did you see the name of the lawyer that instituted the complaint? Doesn't sound like he came from among the chestbeaters and rabble rousers--- the very same people who shouldve came to the defense of GEJ in the first place were silent as usual. Same as when he was acting President.

jmaine:

The thread is focussed on the fact that the SSS successfully cured the insane Junaid, and he came out humbled and contained.

Please spare us your thread derail attempt . . . .

kingoflag: Like I said: Did u notice the name of the Lawyer that made the complaint?

adino: By the way, Pastor Tunde Bakare has been mute for a while now. That leach is damn awe.

SSS “arrests” Junaid Mohammed Over Comments About President Jonathan

Aigbofa: This fool visited the SSS one time and came out sounding like ROSSIKE!

kingoflag: [s] U mentioned and made fun of Pastor Bakare--- the same man who was at the forefront risking his life and freedom to ensure that GEJ, even though known to be notoriously unsophisticated, be made President. I saw ur crazy comment and reminded you of the name of the Lawyer in this instant incident that made the complaint...

Yeah, I know it hurts the head to realize that the notorious rabble rousers never come to ur aid when the flames are hot, but will become ur closest pals once it is doused.

What's the definition of a 'Fair-weather friend', again?[/s]
