Kayode Ajulo, Kassim Afegbua’s attorney has demanded the Department
of State Security (DSS), to explain the reason for and the content
of the invitation to the spokesman to the ex-military head of
state, Ibrahim Babangida.
This is contained in a letter said to be have
been received by the Daily Post on Thursday, February 8, from the
chamber, the same date Afegbua was asked to appear at the DSS
office. The DSS had asked Afegbua on Wednesday, February 7, for a
chat with its director-general, Lawal Musa Daura.
The invitation came few hours after Afegbua
responded to police invitation at force headquarters. He was
afterwards aquitted of any crime.
However, Ajulo maintained in his letter that
his client would not appear if the secret service did not explain
why he was invited in the first place.
The response from Ajulo to the
DSS is given below:
Afegbua’s lawyer writes DSS over
Babangida’s statement on Buhari
We act as Solicitors to Prince Kassim
Afegbua, hereinafter referred to as “Our Client” and on whose firm
instruction we write you.
Our client, a renowned Journalist, former
Commissioner of Information in Edo State, a patriotic and law
abiding Nigerian only last night got information that he has an
invitation to honour with the Director General of the State
Security Service at the Department of State Service Headquarters,
Abuja.
In availing us of the above development,
we have accordingly advised our client and, true to character, he
has indicated his readiness to honour the said invitation even as
he expressed curiosity over the unusual invitation, especially
coming on the heels of recent events pertaining to the discharge of
his duty to his principal, General Ibrahim Babangida, GCFR.
Our client’s concerns are wary and valid,
as very little information has been availed him on the context of
the said invitation.
While bound by his sense of duty as a
citizen of Nigeria, and with a clear conscience eager to meet with
your Director General in due course, we must on his behalf demand
that the shroud of ambivalence surrounding his invitation be
quickly cleared.
This is achievable by extending a verified
formal invitation, whose content should specify the reason(s) for
his invitation.
Accept please the assurances of our
highest esteem.
Yours truly,
For: Kayode Ajulo & Co. Castle of
Law
