Some security personnel allegedly attempted to arrest Igboho on Friday.
However, in a statement, DSS denied that they made a grab for Igboho.
In the statement by Peter Afunanya, Public Relations Officer, DSS described the reports as “misinforming” and “fake”.
The statement read: “The Department of State Services wishes to refute the news that it attempted to arrest one Sunday Igboho, today (Friday), at Ibadan, Oyo State.
“The said news is misinforming and should be taken as fake and, therefore, be disregarded.”
