DSS INTEROGATES ALUKO #EKITIGATE


Former Secretary of the Ekiti State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
Secretary, Dr. Temitope Aluko, has been answering questions from the
Department of State Services (DSS) concerning his allegations of
massive rigging of the 2014 governorship election in the state.
The first round of interrogation was conducted in Abuja on Friday with
the second round due to follow tomorrow, The Nation gathered
yesterday.
Aluko, speaking on Channels Television last week, alleged collusion
between the PDP, Fayose and security officials in rigging the election.
Of note is the allegation that former President Goodluck Jonathan
released $37million to Fayose for the prosecution of the election wich
Fayose won, defeating the then incumbent Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
$2million of the sum was allegedly released for the PDP primaries
which Fayose won conveniently and the balance of $35million for the
election proper.
The former PDP scribe had earlier appeared before the Nigerian Army
Board of Inquiry chaired by Maj.-Gen. Adeniyi Oyebade, which
investigated the roles played by its officers and men where he gave
evidence and tendered sensitive documents.
Aluko was grilled on Friday by the DSS on all he knew about the
alleged compromise of the Ekiti governorship election.
A source as the DSS office in Abuja confirmed yesterday that Aluko
tendered many documents, which would assist the security agency in
its investigations especially on “issues bordering on state security.”
The source said an interactive conference has been scheduled for
tomorrow during which Aluko will face a larger panel of investigators
to shed more light on the issues surrounding the alleged compromise
of the poll.
The source said: “Dr. Aluko was invited by the DSS High Command in
Abuja to make clarifications on his allegations and give details on
what transpired before, during and after poll.
“Dr. Aluko is now in the DSS custody and he is okay there as he sees
this as his patriotic duty to the nation especially in his desire to let
Nigerians know that the Ekiti governorship poll was neither free nor
fair as the world was made to believe.
“There are so many issues to shed light on. His interrogators want
him to dot the i’s and cross the t’s most especially issues bordering
on state security about the Ekiti governorship election.
“After the preliminary interaction with Dr. Aluko, the DSS officials are
planning an interactive conference with him on Monday which may
involve a larger team of investigators.
“From the way things are going, Dr. Aluko may be the guest of DSS till
Tuesday because the Monday’s interactive conference may last a
whole day.
“The DSS officers were not hostile but they were very inquisitive
asking so many questions with details.
“The federal government is monitoring the situation because it has
gotten so many messages from the revelations of Dr. Aluko since the
new broke.”
