There were reports in Benin that the operatives had arrested one Jaspa Olowojoba, Personal Assistant to Akerele, when the operative could not find him.
“I have verified and confirmed that the DSS Edo has not invaded the residence nor arrested anyone associated with the former CoS,” Waziri said.
The former CoS on Saturday resigned his appointment, while Obaseki had replaced him with Mr Osaze Uzamure.
