The Department of State Services (DSS) has reportedly invited and questioned the Secretary to Ogun State Government (SSG), Tokunbo Talabi, over recent allegations of fraud levelled against him.

A source told The PUNCH that the invitation and subsequent interrogation for over five hours on Friday were a result of the allegations levelled against him.

Talabi, who was released on self recognition, was grilled at the Ogun State Command Headquarters of the DSS, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, on Friday, at 6:55 pm.

Talabi’s alleged involvement with Superflux Printing Limited, located on Acme Road, Ikeja, Lagos State, has in recent times come under close scrutiny.
