KASSIM Afegbua, the spokesman of former military president, Ibrahim Babangida, has queried the Department of State Service (DSS) on why he was invited to appear before it.

The police declared Mr. Afegbua wanted on Monday evening, a development he responded to by turning up at the Force Headquarters with his lawyers Wednesday morning.

After spending about 25 minutes in a closed-door discussion with the commissioner for police in charge of Inspector-General Monitoring Unit as well as the head of legal department at the Force Headquarters, Mr. Afegbua was released without charges as the force also tendered an apology to him.

On Wednesday evening the DSS in a phone call invited Afegbua to appear before it on Thursday.

On Thursday morning, Afegbua, through his lawyer queried the reason for his invitation.

Although he had accepted to honour the invitation on Wednesday evening, HEADLINE could not independently verify as at press time, wether he will go ahead with his decision as he has requested that the DSS should tender an explanation why he is being invited.

He made the request through his lawyer who wrote the DSS.

“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 high esteem,” the epistle said.

Guy don't allow this clueless government intimidate you!

lalasticlala

Another apology by yet another government agency looms.

These guys are falling over themselves on which would embarrass the government the most.

Are these Buhari's minions not tired of losing.,? Aaaargh, seems shame and failure are their favorites.

That terrorist that call himself IGP is going to b the main down fall of Buhari.

Lol.......pls........Afegbua..........sue his ass for anything sueable.......he needs to know his place.

Buhari and all politicians deserve this

Secret police harassing journalist, pastors and critics of the government...prelude to a miniature North Korea.

When you fools were voting for Buhari, what were you fools thinking??

That he was gonna be a protector of free speech? That he was gonna grow the economy? That he was a detribalsed Nigerian??

Fools.

i hate politics especially in this part of the world

They are all MAD!!!

isoright o. make we see as the invitation go be na
anyway
nothing is more meaningful to me this hot afternoon in Benin City than a sour like garri with cold water + groundnut and sugar followed by weed
and some slow and cool song like Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, passenger, Lukas Graham, xambassador, sia, Adele, Enya, cold play, chain smokers, twenty one pilot,

Rotten system

broda do not worry the dullard must return back to daura by pvc or by force

Buhari the witchnocrat

Buhari is really doing well by helping other parties save money that should have been used for campaign

Only in Nigeria... Some kind of people receive special invitation by security agencies but on the other side a poor man never wake dey go just burst him door give am beaten of his life before he reach station... More question of why? More beating

Buhari is a bastard

The Lawyer Is Too Scared Woo... Look How He Carefully Regroup And Analyse His Words.


Must He Write "on His Behalf" At Every Paragraph ?

shekau is now campaigning for bubu next now we go hear say him don surrender or killed all for 2019 we are watching

This charade only succeeded in giving credence to those who wanted the failed President out. When did we get here? This is why Buhari must not return in 2019. Intimidation, breakdown down of every law and order and commonsense, nepotism, war monger, hate monger and rudderless leadership.

I like the man action jor...

Giddymoney:
Buhari and all politicians deserve this

Chai, which kain Osama ref be that?

He didnt care that the injured could have lapsed into a coma....

buhari and his boys are perpetual blunders! nig. needs a president!

How does all these invitations change the fact that Buhari is going back to his cows in daura come 2019? APC sef!

sirequity:
Guy don't allow this clueless government intimidate you!

The issue is not intimidation but distraction. Who is still talking about the content of the letter. Everybody attention has been diverted to his invitation and not the content of his letter.... The aim has been achieved by those who sponsored the disclaimer

maestroferddi:
Chai, which kain Osama ref be that?

Na so we see am oo

Only God know wetin the guy do before he injure

This man don enter serious wahala. By the time this terrorist government finishes with you, you'll regret ever being spokesman for IBB. After DSS, EFCC will have a go at you. Then the Army headquarters will invite you over.


The funny thing is that IBB will never be invited, he's a demi-god in Nigeria. Shithole country!

Where is the road path to prosperity and good living in this country?
