Former military Head of State,
Ibrahim Babangida’s spokesperson, Kassim Afegbua on Friday said his life is now
in danger.
Afegbua who was asked to return
to the Department of State Services, DSS on Friday, said he had been receiving
unknown calls from people, threatening him and his family.
Afegbua, in a press release
issued on Friday in Abuja titled “one statement, many ordeals”, described his
current travail in the hands of the DSS as “nauseating and utterly
condemnable”.
The statement reads, “In the last
six days, I have gone through traumatic experience when I was declared wanted
by the Nigeria Police. By the strength of that unprofessional declaration, I
was treated like a common criminal and fugitive until I showed up at the Police
Headquarters Abuja to physically present myself. After what the Police termed a
no case issue, they were apologetic and I took my leave. In the evening of that
day, Wednesday 7th February, 2018 I got a phone call inviting me to the
Headquarters of the Directorate of State Security (DSS).
“I honoured the invitation on
Thursday and spent 7 hours waiting for attention. I left the office at 6.50pm
when it became clear nobody was ready to tell me what the invitation was meant
for. I was informed to report back on Friday 9th February, 2018 at 11am. On
arrival on Friday, having spent 2 hours, I was attended to by the Director of
Operations and two others who interrogated me on the said statement I issued.
“My interrogation was recorded
electronically and I was made to write a statement affirming the issued
statement, having collected all my personal details; house address, account
number, international passport number and other information.
“I find this whole episode quite
nauseating and utterly condemnable. I cannot rationalise why a statement would
amount to subjecting me to rigorous interrogation especially when there was no
complainant.
“The action of the Nigeria Police
coupled with that of the State Security Service is at best that of a meddlesome
interloper and sheer bullying, leaving serious developmental issues to chasing
shadows with a view to intimidate, harass and embarrass me.
“Let me state at this point that
my life is in danger as we speak. I have been receiving series of unknown phone
calls from people threatening me and my family. I will not submit to
intimidation, harassment and threats. Certainly not. I have just a life to live
and no one under God will live forever.”
