DSS: More troubles await the incumbent Chairman of APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole after his return to the country anytime from now. The Department of State Services is waiting for him for further investigation.
It was also gathered that President Muhammadu Buhari was aware of the investigation of the former governor of Edo State by the security agency.

Presidency sources told one of our correspondents that the President actually asked the secret police to “go ahead and do their job†when he was told about the allegations of the party chairman.
Oshiomhole, who became the national chairman of the party less than five months ago, has been having a running battle with some governors and leaders within the ruling party.
The leaders and the governors believed that the former governor did not handle the just concluded party primaries across the country well.
It was learnt that some of the governors, especially those who were unable to secure party tickets for their favourite candidates, had been mounting pressure on the President to overrule the party chairman on the choice of candidates from their states.

It was reported on Wednesday that the DSS grilled Oshiomhole for about nine hours between Sunday and Monday before he travelled out of the county.
Security sources confirmed to one of our correspondents that Oshiomhole would be expected to return for interrogation on his return to the country.
Apart from this, our correspondent gathered authoritatively that the DSS was planning to send the report of its investigations to the President alone.
The source said, “The comrade (Oshiomhole) is expected to return for further interrogation when he returns to the country. That’s why we released him on administrative bail.
“We are still looking at his statements and also carrying out further investigations. This type of operation is not meant for the members of the public.
“Rather, we will brief the President when the report is ready. Oshiomhole is the national chairman of the President’s political party. He deserves to know our report first.â€
