Ololade Adeyanju/
National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Adams Oshiomhole, has denied media reports that he was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS).
He told journalists on Saturday in Lagos on his return from abroad that he “saw DSS only once and it was a conversation, not an arrest or detention”.
Oshiomhole was reacting to media reports that he was detained by the security agency earlier this week.
Giving an insight into what he discussed with the agency, the APC chairman revealed that the conversation centred around APC primaries.
He, however noted: “The question now is whether or not it is the job of the DSS to interfere in a political party’s issues. And if there’s an allegation of corruption, it is the responsibility of EFCC and ICPC.”
Media reports had claimed that Oshiomhole was detained and questioned for about nine hours by the DSS on Sunday.
The reports said the questioning followed allegations that the APC chairman received bribes during the party’s primaries held across the country.
Some of the reports also claimed that Oshiomhole was asked to resign his position.
