OLAWUNMI WAS ONLY INVITED TO SHED MORE LIGHT ON INFORMATION HE PROVIDED ON CHANNEL TELEVISION ON TACKLING TERRORISM DIRECTOR, DEFENCE INFORMATION

The Director, Defence Information (DDI), Major General Benjamin Sawyerr, has said retired Navy Commodore Kunle Olawunmi was never declared wanted for an interview he granted on alleged Islamisation and Boko Haram sponsors in government.

Sawyerr said: "As a result of the information coming from intelligence circle, an officer in DIA invited retired Commodore Olawunmi to come over, so that he can help with information that can assist in the fight against insurgency and terrorism. The DIA officer asked him to come on Tuesday, so that he can even meet with the Chief of Defence Intelligence (CDI), Mayor General Samuel Adebayo. That was all."

"There was no better or any formal invitation. He just switched off his phone and started calling some media houses that he had been declared wanted."
