Coup Allegation: DSS confirms Fani-Kayode invitation
The Department of State Services (DSS) has confirmed the invitation of a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Femi Fani-Kayode, over his allegation of plans by some military personnel to seize power.
Fani-Kayode had in a series of tweets on Saturday claimed some military personnel met with the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, to scuttle the 2023 polls as well as plot a coup.
The military had since denied the allegations, pledging its loyalty to the constitution and the democratic system in place.
On Monday morning, Fani-Kayode, however, announced that he had been invited by the DSS, but said he would honour the invitation because he had nothing to fear.
In a short message sent to our correspondent, the spokesperson for the DSS, Peter Afunanya, said Fani-Kayode arrived at the service office at 9 am on Monday.
He said, ”Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has been with the DSS since 9 am today 13/02/23. In response to the invitation extended to him by the Service. Later, please.”
