I didn’t orchestrate Faleke, Audu son’s arrest – Bello

Kogi State Governor-elect, Yahaya Bello, on Sunday reacted to speculations that he was behind Saturday’s arrest of the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain James Faleke and son of the late APC governorship candidtate, Mohammed Audu by the Department of State Services (DSS).

Bello, in a statement issued from his Media Office and signed by Jude Salau stated that he never sent any petition to the DSS against the duo of Faleke and Audu’s son.

“The allegation that I sent a petition to the DSS is an absolute falsehood and nothing can be farther from the truth,” the statement said.

According to the statement, the DSS had proven to be a highly professional body under its present leadership and therefore cannot be pushed around by any single individual or group.

“Hon Faleke is a respected member of APC, who has made his own contribution to the success of our party; instigating his arrest cannot be a part of the reconciliatory moves and peace building efforts that we have initiated ahead of our January 27th inauguration,” the statement added.
