The Department of State Secret Services, SSS, has invited the Publisher/Editor-in-Chief of Newsdiary online, Danlami Nmodu, to the headquarters of the agency in Abuja for questioning, PRNigeria reports.

An operative of SSS, who relayed the invitation to Mr Danlami via telephone on Wednesday morning, said the online publisher is expected at headquarters of the agency on Wednesday or Thursday morning.

The operative added that the invitation was in respect of a story recently published on the Kano Ecological Fund projects.

It could be recalled that Newsdiary online had published a story, titled: “Diplomatic backlash, legal tussle loom as FG dumps German firm over Kano Project.”

After publishing the story, the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, made further facts available through a rejoinder, which clarified the issues.

The Federal Government’s equally illuminating rejoinder was copiously published by the newspaper.

The online newspaper was also among those who went for an on-the-spot assessment of the Challawa, Sharada and Bompai N2.6 billion ecological projects in Kano in the aftermath of the Newsdiary online story.

However, highly placed sources said on Wednesday that the SSS may be investigating how some documents quoted by Newsdiary online leaked.

Mr Danlami, a member of the Nigeria’s highest policy think tank institution, Nigeria Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, who was asked to report for questioning, it was learnt, will be at the SSS headquarters on Thursday morning from 10am.

Mr Danlami is also the General Secretary of the Guild of Corporate Online Publishers, GOPOC
