Reno Omokri reacts to alleged failed attempt by DSS to arrest him at the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport

Former media aide to former president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, allegedly scaled through an arrest attempt on him at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International airport Abuja today August 17th. According to an email sent to Vanguard by the distributor of Reno Omokri's book, Facts Versus Fiction: The True Story of the Jonathan Years: Chibok, 2015 and Other Conspiracies, he had gone to the airport to take delivery of the consignment of Reno's book but he was, however, accosted by a group of Customs officers who then handed him over to the DSS agent.

At the DSS office in the airport, the distributor in an email sent to Vanguard, said he was repeatedly questioned if he was the author of the books that he had just come to take delivery of.

“the DSS agent kept asking, ‘are you the author? “Are you the author?” “Where is the author?” and “where is your passport?” among several questions to which he told them he was not the author and neither was he traveling abroad. He informed them that the publisher was not in the country.

After some minutes, he heard the DSS agent discussing his fate in an adjoining room, so he began moving to the door, which had been left ajar, and then bolted and took to his heels.
