DSS must arrest Fani-Kayode for inciting comments – Atiku

Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said that the Department of State Security Services should arrest Fani-Kayode, Director of New Media of the Bola Tinubu Campaign, over his inciting remarks.

The British envoy had earlier included Fani-Kayode’s name among other people for inciting comments. The United Kingdom expressed displeasure over controversial comments made by Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation and chieftain of the All-Progressives Congress (APC).

In an interview with Nigeria Info FM on Sunday, Ben Llewellyn-Jones, British deputy high commissioner to Nigeria, faulted the APC chieftain for his statements.

Phrank Shaibu, Special Assistant on Public Communications to Atiku, in a statement on Sunday, lauded British Envoy, Ben Llewellyn-Jones for listing Fani-Kayode and others making inciting comments.

Shaibu stressed that the former Minister of Aviation has flawed the Secret Service’s call on politicians not to overheat the polity.

According to him, Fani-Kayode would bring Nigeria into severe chaos if he is left uncontrolled.

He called on Nigerians to regard Fani-Kayode as a joker.

“We acknowledge as timely the statement of the DSS call on politicians not to overheat the polity. But call on the security agency to arrest Fani-Kayode for not heeding the counsel of the DSS when he threatened to make Nigeria ungovernable”, he stated.

Recall that the DSS had invited Femi-Fani-Kayode on 13 February over a claim about Atiku planning a coup. The former minister said the Department of State Services (DSS) invited him for making claims that Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), met with army general’s prior to the elections.
