The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has described the arrest, detention and interrogation of its National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) as a rumour.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu said that Oshiomhole is currently out of the country and therefore not on reach to immediately respond to the rumour.
He said that the national chairman traveled abroad on Monday on personal grounds, even as he declined further details about the trip.
“We do not have any information on this rumour. More so, the Chairman is not around in the country to confirm or deny this. As soon as we have any relevant information, you will be updated.”
Oshiomhole was said to have been invited for questioning Sunday night following petitions from some aggrieved governors of the party, accusing him of subverting the recent primary elections of the party due to some pecuniary interests.
The DSS operatives were said to have asked him to resign following a deluge of complaints about his handling of the party primaries.
