James Abiodun Faleke(Deputy governorship flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress in Kogi) and Mr. Mohammed Audu ( the eldest son of Abubakar Audu, the late APC governorship candidate) were invited by operatives of the Directorate of State Security in Abuja, today Saturday Jan. 9th for undisclosed reason, and then detained.
James Faleke a Member of the House of Representatives arrived at the Headquarters of the security organization at about 10.00am this morning and has not been released as at the time of filing this report.
The Director, Media and Publicity of Audu/Faleke Campaign Organisation, Duro Meseko, said in a statement on Saturday that the duo arrived the SSS headquarters in Abuja at exactly 10.00am and were kept in an office with assurances that an officer would attend to them only to keep them indefinitely.
Mr. Meseko said the two politicians were kept in an isolated office till 4p.m on Saturday evening.
James Faleke is supposed to be the deputy Governor Elect for Kogi state but following the Tragic death of his running mate Late Audu Abubakar, that option was crossed out, but when the APC in Kogi chose Yahaya Bello to replace Audu Abubakar, Faleke wouldn't have it, he has on several occasions said that INEC should declare him winner,but the powers that be refused and handed him the same position he seeked earlier, 'Deputy Governor'. Long story short,It's been a series of back and forth between Faleke and the APC in Kogi state. He has since dragged the APC in Kogi state to court.
