Standup9ja: Suspended National Intelligence Agency boss, Ayo
Oke weeps in Aso Rock (VIDEO INCLUDED)
The suspended Director-General of the National Intelligence
Agency, Ayo Oke, this afternoon betrayed emotions, weeping profusely at the Aso
Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.
He was however denied access to President Muhammadu Buhari
and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
He had attempted to
head for Buhari and Osinbajo's office before he later turned back and left the
Villa.
According to a statement earlier today by Buhari's spokesman
Femi Adesina, "the President has ordered a full scale investigation into
the discovery of large amounts of foreign and local currencies by the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in a residential apartment at Osborne
Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos, over which the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) has
made a claim.
"The investigation is also to enquire into the
circumstances in which the NIA came into possession of the funds, how and by
whose or which authority the funds were made available to the NIA, and to
establish whether or not there has been a breach of the law or security
procedure in obtaining custody and use of the funds.
"The President has also directed the suspension of the
Director General of the NIA, Ambassador Ayo Oke, pending the outcome of the
investigation."
