APC denies knowledge of Oshiomhole’s arrest by DSS

The ruling All Progressives Congress APC has denied knowledge of
the quizzing of its National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole by
operatives of the Department of State Services DSS.

Reacting to reports of the questioning of the chairman, National
Publicity Secretary of the party, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu said Mr
Oshiomhole is currently out of the country and could not
immediately respond to the “rumor”.

“We do not have any information on this rumor. More so, the
Chairman is not around in the country to confirm or deny this. As
soon as we have any relevant information, you’ll be updated”, he
said.

Oshiomhole was said to have been invited for questioning Sunday
night following petitions from some aggrieved governors of the
party, accusing him of subverting the recent primary elections of
the party due to some pecuniary interests.

The party said Comrade Oshiomhole traveled abroad Monday on
personal grounds, declining further details about the trip.

The DSS operatives were said to have asked him to resign
following a deluge of complaints about his handling of the party
primaries.
