DSS: Freed Ekiti Lawmaker Hospitalised

Mr Afolabi Akanni, a member of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, recently arrested and released by the Department of State Service (DSS) has been hospitalized in a private hospital in Abuja. Mr Akanni’s who was freed after 18 days in detention became very weak and could barely speak when visited at the hospital even as he kept repeating “I am not well. I am sick. I am sick”. He said his release may not be unconnected with his deteriorating health situation, adding that he was not told by the DSS operatives why he held. Afolabi was picked up on March 4 when DSS operatives stormed the premises of the State House of Assembly in Ado-Ekiti. According to the Chairman Committee on Information, Ekiti Assembly, Hon Gboyega Aribisogan, Fayose ordered that Hon Afolabi be taken to the Hospital immediately he was released. He said: “We are very happy about the development. The entire state is agog with jubilation. His incarceration really bothered us. I can confirm that every other person detained with him has also been released. Immediately he was released, Governor Ayodele Fayose ordered that he be taken into a hospital, which is where he is now” Thanks for reading.
