DSS grills former governor, five others over anti-Buhari comments

The Department of State Security Services (DSS) yesterday invited former Adamawa State Governor Jibrilla Bindow questioning after he allegedly convened a meeting against President Muhammadu Buhari.

The agency also grilled five others namely: former Speaker of Adamawa House of AssemAdministrator bly Kabiru Mijinyawa; the acting APC Chairman, Yola South, Alhaji Sulaiman Adamu; former Sole of Yola West Development Area Abubakar Umar Sirimbai; a former Commissioner Mustapha Barkindo Aliyu Mustapha; and a former adviser in the Bindow administration, Alhaji Yusha’u Adamu.

The ex-governor, who admitted that he was invited and interrogated by the DSS, said he “cautioned members making those unwarranted utterances thrice” at the meeting.

His invitation came on the heels of leakage of an audiotape about the meeting that generated political tension in Adamawa.

It was learnt that Bindow was grilled at about 2.50pm yesterday on alleged plot against the President on account of an audiotape in circulation.

The ex-governor last week convened a meeting on the way forward for the APC in Yola South in Adamawa Central Senatorial District as part of his preparations for another governorship bid in 2023.

It was gathered that the meeting had hardly started when some of those invited started pouring invectives on President Buhari.”

The outbursts against the President became intense. One of them at the session secretly recorded the discussion.

The audiotape was leaked.
