Former Secretary to the Rivers State Government (SSG), Dr Tammy Danagogo, has formally responded to an invitation by the Nigeria Police Force over his alleged involvement in a plot to assassinate the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Naijaonpoint reports that Danagogo, through his legal representatives, informed the police that he was out of town and therefore unable to honour the invitation scheduled for Thursday, January 15, 2026.
The Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of the Force Intelligence Department, Abuja, had invited the former SSG for questioning in connection with a leaked telephone conversation between him and Port Harcourt-based pastor, Tombari Joseph Gbeneol.
In the purported call, both men allegedly discussed plans to import assassins from Israel to target the FCT Minister, a claim that has since stirred political and legal reactions across the country.
In a letter dated Wednesday and addressed to the Commissioner of Police, IRT, Danagogo’s legal team, Danagogo, Oputa & Associates, requested a rescheduling of the interview.
The response, signed by Sir I.O. Nwodoh, Esq., stated that their client was “out of town” and therefore could not meet the Thursday deadline set by the police.
The notice reads, “Letter of Invitation: REF. NO: CR: 3000/FID /IRT/ABJ/ ADM/ vOL. 9/57
“The above subject matter refers. The attention of our Chief Dr. T. W. Danagogo has been drawn to your letter under reference after your service on us yesterday at about 18:00 hours and upon reaching our Chief Dr. T. w. Danagogo we regret to inform you that he is out of town and may not be available at your slated Thursday 15th January 2026 appointment.
“Consequently, we crave your kind indulgence to have the appointment re-scheduled for Monday the 26th day of January 2026 for the interview.”
