The presidency said on Wednesday that it was not aware that President Muhammadu Buhari had ordered a thorough investigation into the alleged invitation and brief detention of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, embattled National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).

An online medium had claimed that Oshiomhole, who has been having a running battle with some key stakeholders in the party following its recently concluded controversial primaries, was quizzed for over nine hours by DSS operatives over alleged bribery levelled against him by some governors of the party.

Oshiomhole was said to have been freed following the prompt intervention of APC national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

It was also learnt that President Buhari, who was shocked by the development as he did not authorise it, had ordered a full investigation into the issue.

However, when contacted, Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, said he was not aware that the president had ordered investigation into the matter.

“I am not aware the president has said anything like that,” he told our reporter.
