DSS’ raising ‘ING’ alarm as plot to arrest Obi, Atiku before May 29 – Timi Frank alleges

The All Progressives Congress, APC’s former Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Timi Frank has alleged that the Department of State Service was raising alarm of Interim National Government as a ploy to arrest Mr Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar.

In a statement he issued on Thursday which he sent to CAPITAL POST in Abuja, Frank said, the Secret Police wanted the candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi detained before May 29 handover date.

Timi’s statement followed DSS’s confirmation that some undisclosed elements were plotting for Interim National Government, ING.

On Wednesday CAPITAL POST reported that the DSS accused those it referred to as “entrenched interests” of plotting to subvert democracy by forcing the emplacement of an ING in the country.

In a twist, Frank insisted that the DSS should be forthcoming, saying that the agency know more than they chose to tell Nigerians, adding that the alarm was an alibi to crackdown on citizens protesting rigged elections.

He said: “The DSS’ purported intelligence is fake. It is a plot to crackdown on protesters and arrest opposition political leaders before May 29″, pointing out that the secret Police is coming out to disrupt protests across the country.

Frank, who is the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP), Ambassador to East Africa and Middle East, said that the DSS ought to have used the same intelligence to stop abuse and killing of Nigerians by terrorists groups over the years.
