In a statement issued by the DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, who confirmed the development said the APC chieftain was grilled for about seven hours to answer questions on the allegations he made about some army generals plotting with some presidential candidates to scuttle the 2023 general elections and carry out a coup against the government, according to News Point Nigeria.
“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.
