Deputy governorship flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress in the Nov. 21, 2015 Governorship election in Kogi State, James Faleke, and Mohammed, the eldest son of Abubakar Audu, the late APC governorship candidate, Abubakar Audu, were on Saturday invited by the State Security Services for undisclosed reason, and then detained.
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.
He said:
Quote
“I’m surprised my Principal and the eldest son of our political leader, Mohammed are still being kept as I speak with you which is 4pm. What could be responsible for this ill treatment by the SSS? Or could they be acting the intimidation script? Trying to arms-twist them into abandoning the sacred mandate freely given to the Audu/Faleke team by the generality of Kogi people? Let me make it abundantly clear that our mandate is sacred and no amount of of technical detention, intimidation and harassment would shake our resolve to get justice through the judiciary. I refuse to believe that the presidency has hands in the arrest! But we may not rule out the fact that the power that be must have wielded their influence in the arrest, but we are not not pertubed over the development, because we believe that God ultimately vindicate us.” He stated

so if he is invited for a meeting that they willingly attended, why are you disturbing our ears with your rantings? did they complain of maltreatment, hunger or disrespect .

A dictator is at work . The best truth one can say is the truth you tell yourself. Am sure the apc will tell themselves the truth that a dictator is at work . Why am not perturbed is because it's only a matter of time . God is never asleep. Why faleke and audu's son. Just because they are being democratic. Until this tyrant is called to order , Nigeria is heading to what I called "Military onomatopoeia". This Katsina man should be cautioned on time

Faleke comes across as an obnoxious politician but bare truth is no politician can actually survive and be successful without being stubborn and obnoxious, he must be going through this because he refuses to step down as the rightful vice for audu, I just hope something bad dosnt happen to him down the line
