THE Department of State Services (DSS), yesterday, in Abuja detained James Faleke and Mohammed Audu. They were brought to the headquarters of the DSS at 10am and held in an office.

Faleke is the All Progressives Congress (APC), deputy governorship candidate in the November 21, 2015 election in Kogi State; while Mohammed is the son of late APC governorship candidate, Abubakar Audu.

The Director, Media and Publicity of Audu/Faleke Campaign Organisation, Duro Meseko, who confirmed the invitation and detention, said he was surprised Faleke and Audu were still being kept in an isolated office till yesterday’s evening.

“I am surprised my principal and the eldest son of our political leader, Mohammed, are still being detained, as I speak with you. What could be responsible for this ill treatment by the DSS?

“Or could they be acting the intimidation script, trying to arm-twist them into abandoning the sacred mandate freely given to the Audu/Faleke team by the generality of Kogi people?

“Let me make it abundantly clear that our mandate is sacred and no amount of technical detention, intimidation and harassment would shake our resolve to get justice through the judiciary,” he said.
