Ekiti alleges APC plot to use DSS to arrest Fayose for treason

The Ekiti State Government has raised an alarm that some officials in the APC-led federal government are conniving with the Department of State Service (DSS) to implicate the State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose of a treasonable offence.

It said this is with a view to arresting him and some top functionaries of the State government.

Special Assistant of Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, made the allegation in a statement issued in Ado Ekiti on Thursday night.

He alleged that some miscreants were already slated to be arrested by the DSS, after-which the DSS will claim that subversive materials were found on them and that the arrested miscreants confessed that they were being sponsored by Governor Fayose.

The statement read; “Few hours ago, credible information was received as to the new plot by the APC-led federal government to rope the Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose into treasonable offence.

“This plot is being hatched with the active connivance of some top functionaries of the DSS.

“Some miscreants are already slated to be arrested by the DSS, after-which the DSS will claim that subversive materials were “found” on them and that the arrested miscreants confessed that they were being sponsored by Governor Fayose to promote insurgency in the country, with the ultimate aim of toppling the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.

“The DSS will then move in, claiming to be acting on the confession of the “arrested” miscreants and attempt to arrest Governor Fayose and some top functionaries of the Ekiti State government.

“Arrest of Governor Fayose will be premised on claim that the immunity being enjoyed by the governor does not cover treasonable offences.

“Nigerians should recall that Governor Fayose made it known last week that he was aware of the various attempts on his life just because he chose to expose to Nigerians, the state of health of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Let it be said to those behind this new sinister plot that, like their previous evil plots, this one too will fail”, the statement declared.

Olayinka further stated, that “Governor Fayose will not be involved in any unlawful act and Nigerians as well as the international community are placed on alert as to this new plot”.
