The Director of Defence Information (DDI) Major General Benjamin Olufemi Sawyerr has refuted Sahara reporters online news that The DIA has ordered for the arrest of Cdre Olawunmi (rtd).
“This is false and not true. We are issuing a statement soon. You recall he said he is privileged to lots of information during his media interview on Channels.
“He was only invite through text message to come over as a retired military officer to shed more lights with the information that would assist the AFN to further fight against terrorism, insurgency and banditry.
“Also recall that the CDS has just concluded his tour of the 6 Geo-Political Zones where he solicited for the support and cooperation of retired military officers. Arrest of persons was not part of it, he said.
Sawyerr added that the invitation extended to the retired senior military officer is in line with Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor’s vision to involve retired military personnel to offer professional counsel on likely strategies to adopt in tackling the security threats.
