The Department of State Services has invited and interrogated the Secretary to Ogun State Government, Tokunbo Talabi, over recent allegations of fraud leveled against him and Covid-19 palliative controversy. Talabi was reportedly grilled for about five hours on Friday but was released on self-recognition at the Ogun State Command Headquarters of the DSS, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
Talabi’s alleged involvement with Superflux Printing Limited, located on Acme Road, Ikeja, Lagos State, has in recent times come under close scrutiny following a request from Mike Ozekhome (SAN).
Mike Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, had submitted a petition to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, Code of Conduct Bureau, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, demanding a thorough investigation into the link between the Independent National Electoral Commission and a printing company believed to be owned by Talabi during the last elections.
However, the Command initiated an inquiry to ascertain the veracity of some allegations against Talabi on ballot papers printing among others.
The DSS was also said to have asked Talabi questions on the company’s connection to significant sums of money related to Ogun State and its role in the 2023 elections.
It was gathered that the allegations raised concerns about the potential impact on the credibility of the upcoming elections.
