Reacting to his attack for the first time in a statement on Sunday, the former PDP Director of New Media, said the DSS had also planned to attack Omoyele Sowore too.
His words: “The SSS behind my attack.
“After they failed with their gunpoint bribing strategy, they decided to finish me up by contracting thugs and miscreants.
“They contracted one Ali from Kano who subcontracted the tout that led the thugs who attacked me.
“They hired same people to protest at Sowore’s court and had planned same attack on Sowore if his rearrest was unsuccessful.
“The leadership of this SSS is the worst in the history of Nigeria. That is why ordinary gathering intelligence on prevention of Boko Haram has become a mirage”
