The Department of State Services (DSS) last month summoned Fani-Kayode for interrogation in relation to his assertion that Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential candidate, met with army generals before to the polls.

He estimates that the watchlist now includes roughly 10 people.

According to him, the list now has between 5 and 10 names and is expanding.
