The Department of State Services (DSS) on Wednesday interrogated a former governor of Adamawa State Senator Jibrilla Bindow for convening a meeting where those in attendance wished President Muhammadu Buhari were dead.
Others who were quizzed include former speaker of Adamawa State House of Assembly, Kabiru Mijinyawa; acting chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Yola South, Sulaiman Adamu; Abubakar Sirimbai; a former commissioner, Mustapha Mustapha, and Yusha’u Adamu.
An audio tape had leaked from a meeting of APC members in Adamawa where some of the attendees said they wished Buhari were dead.
“Coronavirus ought to have killed this president to save Nigeria from his misrule,” one of them reportedly said.
In a statement, Bindow confirmed he was interrogated by the DSS in Yola, Adamawa State capital.
He said he warned some aggrieved party members at the stakeholders’ meeting against making such unguarded statements.
“The said recording was doctored and if you listened to it very well, there are some conversations that were skipped, Senator Bindow cautioned the members making those unwarranted utterances thrice in the meeting and even threatened to walk out,” a statement by his aide Sadiq Abdullateef read.
