Olawale Rasheed, the spokesperson of the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke was invited for an investigation by the Department of State Service for allegedly sponsoring fake news against Femi, son of Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola.
According to the Nation, an Abuja-based blogger published a news report, claiming that Femi was extorting directors of the Ministry of Marine. Subsequently, the blogger was arrested by operatives of DSS and she reportedly confessed that Rasheed sponsored the report.
