Nigerian Secret Police Presents Ekiti Lawmaker Alive

Contrary to rumors propagated by Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose and his government that an Ekiti State lawmaker was killed while in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS), it was revealed today that the lawmaker in question is alive and remains in DSS custody.

Read the full press release by the DSS below:

You may have been aware of the recent situation in Ekiti State in which the DSS was accused of abducting of the State’s Assembly Legislators.

The fact is that one of the members of the Assembly, Hon. Akanni AFOLABI was duly invited by the Service over some serious breaches bordering on State security and for which he has some explanations to make.  These breaches fall under the purview of the DSS to investigate.

This Press Conference has become necessary to debunk a rumour which is being dangerously spread in Ekiti State by some mischief makers to the effect that Hon. AFOLABI has died in custody.  Nigerians and Ekiti people, in particular, are convinced to see that AFOLABI is hale and hearty as he is being presented to the Press today.

The DSS will, therefore, warn all those who have planned to make a meat out of this to desist from it and stir clear from trouble as the Service will not hesitate to bring the full weight of the law against any one or persons that may engage in violent actions of any kind.

In a similar vein, all law abiding Ekiti residents should go about their normal businesses as the Service assures them of full protection by security agencies.
