Fani-Kayode Released On Bail To Report Back On Wednesday

Former Aviation Minister Femi Fani Kayode has been released from custody by the Department of State (DSS).

Intelligence agencies also urged Fani Kayode to report to his facility on Wednesday.

Earlier Monday, the Secret Service invited the All Progressive Conference (APC) Director of Special Projects and New Media for questioning and hounded him for about seven hours.

The APC chief turned himself in to DSS office in Abuja, claiming he plotted with some presidential candidates about some army generals plotting a coup against the government to crush the 2023 general elections.

DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, confirmed that Fani-Kayode had reported at the headquarters of the secret service.

The DSS spokesperson had explained in a statement that the former minister reported to the service at 9:00am in response to the invitation extended to him.

“Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has been with the DSS since 9am today 13/02/23 in response to the invitation extended to him by the Service,” Afunanya said.

This comes about two days after Fani-Kayode alleged that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, had a secret meeting with some army generals.

But the Defence Headquarters had subsequently denied the alleged meeting, pledging its commitment to democracy.
