The State Security Service has invited Kassim Afegbua, the spokesperson of Ibrahim Babangida, to appear before it, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.

The invitation came via a telephone call from the secret police and it asked Mr. Afegbua to be at its headquarters no later than 11 a.m. Thursday, both Mr. Afegbua and his lawyer, Kayode Ajulo, told PREMIUM TIMES Wednesday night.

The invitation comes hours after Mr. Afegbua turned himself in at the Force Headquarters in Abuja after the police declared him wanted for writing a disputed statement on behalf of Mr. Babangida, who led a military junta that ruled Nigeria from 1985 to 1993.

Mr. Afegbua signed the statement for Mr. Babangida on Sunday, in which the former military ruler expressed his misgivings about President Muhammadu Buhari and called for a younger leader to emerge in 2019.

“We will honour the (SSS) invitation by tomorrow morning,” Mr. Ajulo told PREMIUM TIMES by telephone Wednesday night. “We will be there, if that is how they want to run this country, we’ll see how far they can go with this.”

Mr. Afegbua’s ordeal in the hands of federal authorities had been strongly condemned by civic organisations, including Femi Falana, a human rights lawyer, who warned the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to immediately back off the matter because it infringes on Mr. Afegbua’s rights.

The authorities have not been able to answer questions of whether Mr. Babangida filed any complaint against Mr. Afegbua, or what parts of the statement Mr. Afegbua signed were capable of inciting the public as the police alleged.

Mr. Afegbua said Mr. Babangida remained solidly behind him and that the former leader had been making efforts to ensure that no injuries would be inflicted on him by federal authorities.

Intimidation, always Buhari's style.


Anyhow, blame those Nigerians that voted a Buhari who declared in the open before Muslim faithfuls in 2001 that he wouldn't stop until Islamic Sharia Criminal codes are employed all over Nigeria.

ISIS, Taliban, Boko Haram, El-Shabab and others alike, are fighting for countries to be governed with Islamic Sharia Criminal Codes.

They Now wantonly display their stupidity without caring how Nigerians see it. Harassing the young man for doing what his principal asked him to do.

BTW, has IBB lost relevance this much that he can't shield this guy? or is Buhari just threading a dangerous path?

Under Buhari, security agencies are competing with each other as to who can be the most unprofessional.

Again

VP ON IPOB:
"IPOB is a threat to Nigeria's unity and we the
Federal Executive must crush them and their
activities by fire by thunder. So we beg true
Nigerians to provide our security agencies with
IPOB's information/plans/activities for proper
action to be taken immediately!"
~ (VP Prof. Yemi Osibanjo.)


VP ON FULANI HERDSMEN KILLINGS:
"I plead to Nigerians, Don’t Retaliate Fulani
Herdsmen Killings, Pray For Them Instead; just
as we the Federal Executive are praying hard
now." ~ (VP Prof. Yemi Osinbajo)

Nonsense government and their agencies

Our security agencies are obviously bereft of ideas, policing has been seriously bastardized and politicised.
The SSS that should be concerned with more weightier matters is busy chasing shadows and trying hard to please the ruling Fulani class!!

Nigeria which way??

Please vote wisely in the next elections!!

Trying really hard to stifle freedom of speech

Will they kill him or declare him terrorist.

Babangida's son who forged his father's signature in the rebuttal letter is walking a free man.

Babangida the mastermind of the letter is also walking a free man.

Game reserve, that's what nigeria is

nairavsdollars:
Na wa ooo. Wetin this guy do? This is dictatorship at its highest

He wants to stand for the truth, refusing brown envelope or bank transfer.
