It could be recall that National Security Adviser Baba Kamara had said he caused Dr Ayo Ani to be picked up on Friday for allegedly taking pictures of some 50 Mahindra vehicles, and circulating them on social with a claim that the cars, allegedly meant for the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), were being appropriated by the governing National Democratic Congress for political campaigns.
The office of the Marbles & Granite MD shares a wall with the compound where the vehicles are kept.
His arrest followed his insistence on not writing a statement as demanded by the security officials, who initially interrogated him over the matter.
Dr. Ani was picked up by the Police on Friday with two others and handed over to the BNI for their involvement in the circulation of photos of vehicles which were allegedly procured for the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), but were being re-branded to aid the NDC’s campaign ahead of the November elections.
The compound on which the vehicles were parked allegedly belonged to Mr Kamara. Lawyers for the company’s MD say their client was not responsible for the pictures and their circulation on social media.
However, it is still unclear whether the two who were arrested together with Dr. Ani have also been released.
