“I can’t come on air and start mentioning names of people that are presently in government that I know that the boys that we arrested mentioned. Some of them are governors now, some of them are in the senate, some of them are in Aso Rock.”
However, on Saturday morning, reports went viral that he was declared wanted by the DHQ for questioning.
The DHQ, reacting through its spokesperson, Benjamin Sawyerr, denied the reports.
“There is nothing like that. There is no time that the DIA ordered the arrest of the naval officer. He went on Channels Television and said a lot of things. So, someone in intelligence called him and asked him to come on Tuesday and share his information,”
“The military does not issue a warrant of arrest. Only a court can order an arrest. The former officer spent a lot of time at the interview. If they wanted to arrest him, they would have done so.”, he said.
