Group Faults PDP, Security Operatives For Instigating Oshiomhole’s Arrest

A group, South-South Unity League (SSUL) has alleged a collaboration between rogue elements in the security services and chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP for the recent arrest and interrogation of the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

Secretary General of the SSUL, Dr. Ochuko Egbemayon in a statement issued in Benin on Thursday expressed concern that Oshiomhole could have been so quizzed without the knowledge of the president. The group thus warned that members would not watch and see Oshiomhole harassed or humiliated in the course of what it described as a heroic national duty.

“The manner in which Adams Oshiomhole was whisked into the DSS office and the open secret that it was all based on a premeditated ploy to force him out of office clearly showed that the current DSS may surreptitiously undermine national security.

“Let us forewarn that Adams Oshiomhole is our dear son and not an orphan who should be toiled with. He served Edo State purposefully, and he is currently rendering desirable national service by enforcing party supremacy and the ethos of direct primaries to the envy of many enemies of true democracy. We will not tolerate any threat to his life and health by anyone or group no matter how highly placed. We therefore demand a forensic investigation into the intrinsic objective of the embarrassing interrogation of the APC National Chairman by the Nigeria Police within two weeks, else we will stage a protest to the DSS office in Abuja and Lagos simultaneously. The DSS is not a law unto itself, it must conduct itself within the ambits of reasonability, civility and legality.

“The President of the Federal Republic ought to approve of his invitation, especially when he is not capable of evading arrest. We believe that the DSS session with Oshiomhole may not be unconnected with well known plans by the PDP’s schemes being hatched in Dubai aimed at causing political unrests in Nigeria. President Buhari must urgently overhaul the DSS operational architecture before they are used for unmanageable sabotage.”
