Security operatives are on the trail of Mr Tolani Oluwaseun, an accomplice of Mr Femi Davies, accused of publishing a malicious story against the Secretary to the Ogun State Government (SSG), Mr Tokunbo Talabi.
While being quizzed, Davies, who was picked up ten days ago, reportedly pointed the finger at Oluwaseun as the source of the malicious story.
Davies, who is the publisher of Metro Online, an online media platform, was alleged to have been responsible for syndicating the story.
He was released on administrative bail on Thursday to Messrs Dotun Oladipupo, Seun Oloketuyi, and Otunba Oluwole Ogunbayo.
“Tolani Oluwaseun is a person of interest to us in the course of this investigation. We shall leave no stone unturned to unravel those behind this whole saga,” a security source was quoted to have said.
Some officials of a commercial bank had also been reportedly quizzed by the DSS.
The officials were invited to explain the circumstances surrounding the release and manipulation of the statement of account of Superflux, a company where the SSG had worked before.
The bank was accused of not maintaining strict adherence to rules and regulations guiding banking operations in Nigeria.
The focus of the investigation was for the bank to explain how Mr Davies illegally accessed the account of Superflux and consequently manipulated it to suit some nefarious intention of media propaganda and smear campaign.
