In a reaction to rumours of the death of a member of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, the Department of State Security Service, DSS, Thursday, paraded Hon. Akanni Afolabi before journalists in Abuja.
The House member, who represents Efon constituency, has been detained by the DSS after the invasion of the House of Assembly complex by armed operatives of the secret police on March 4.
Ekiti state government, through the state commissioner of Information, Lanre Ogunsuyi, had at a press conference in Ado Ekiti early Thursday, alleged that Akanni had died in DSS custody. He also added that the lawmaker died in detention on Thursday morning after taking ill in custody.
Reports say, the lawmaker, however appears looking good when he was paraded before journalists.
