Reno Omokri Escapes DSS Arrest At Abuja Airport

Former aide to Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Pastor Reno Omokri, on Thursday, escaped arrest by the Department of State Services, DSS at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.

The bestselling author who is based in the US revealed the incident in an electronic voice mail he sent to Vanguard.

According to Omokri, he had sent a consignment of his book, Facts Versus Fiction, to Nigeria to meet sales but when the distributor of the book who bears a striking resemblance with Omokri got to the airport to pick the cargo, he was accosted by a customs agent who began interrogating him until a DSS agent came up to him and took over the interrogation.

“Are you the author?” “Where is the author?” and “where is your passport?” the customs agent asked.

The distributor replied that he was not the author and neither was he travelling abroad. He said he also told the operatives that the author was not in the country.

“The DSS agent kept asking the distributor, ‘are you the author?’ to which the distributor responded in the negative. At which point, the distributor was detained and taken to an office with four or five other people in it.

“After some minutes, the distributor, who heard the DSS agent discussing his fate in an adjoining room, began moving to the door, which had been left ajar, and then bolted and took to his heels.”
