Abdulwahab Abdulrahman, an
ex-aide to the sacked Director General of the Department of State Services,
DSS, Lawal Daura, has revealed the reason for the faceoff that existed between
the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim
Magu and Daura.
Abdulrahman had earlier accused
his former boss of extensive corruption and portrayed him as a man who serially
betrayed his boss, President Muhammadu Buhari, for money.
Asked what the real issue was
between Magu and the DG SSS, Abdulrahman told Premium Times that Daura wanted
the EFFC boss to share information on high profile cases with him.
“Magu is a smart officer and he
knew Daura wanted to use such information to extract money from people. He told
Daura to his face that I can’t report to you, I only report to the president
who appointed me,” Abdulrahman said.
Speaking on Daura’s career
history, the former aide said his former boss was nearly sacked from the DSS
originally before his reappointment by Buhari because he was caught siphoning
diesel from the DSS Academy in Kaduna.
“Before then, he was almost
sacked when he was State Director in Lagos. Tinubu, who was governor donated 20
vehicles to aid the work of the service in the state; Fashola, who is Minister
now, was the Chief of Staff at the time, Lawal Daura took all the vehicles to
Kano and sold them off,” he claimed.
