The Department of State Services (DSS), has vowed that it will serve justice to all those who sponsor or partake in the publication of subversive reports against the country.
Ms Marilyn Ogar, spokeswoman for the service, made the promise when she showed seven suspects to newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday.
She said the suspects colluded with Steven Davis, an Australian, to negotiate with Boko Haram sect members.
She named the suspects as Junaid Khadi, Abubakar Yusuf, alias Baba Sani, Saleh Ibrahim, alias Liman Ibrahim, Abdullahi Saleh, a.k.a Babadale, Nurudeen Ibrahim, Mubarak Adamu, a.k.a. Molo and Mustapha Maidugu, a.k. Musty Small.
Ogar said Davis and the suspects were among several other local and international group members who had made mechandise of the Boko Haram insurgency through concocted and fabricated stories.
She added that Davis, through such subversive campaigns, intended to shape political discourse, challenge the nation’s security integrity and stir discontent among Nigerians and her allies in the war against terror.
“We will not rest on our oars until our country is rid of all unwholesome activities’’, she said.
Ogar recalled that Davis had on Aug. 29, 2013, alleged that former Gov Ali Modu Sheriff of Borno and ex-army chief, Lt.-Gen. Azuibike Ihejirika, were among chief sponsors of Boko Haram.
“Davis premised his findings on discussion with several field commanders of the sect who allegedly expressed willingness of the sect to negotiate with the Federal Government if Davis would spearhead the dialogue.
“Based on the allegation, this service initiated an in-depth investigation into the matter.
“Consequently, seven associates of Davis were arrested and it has been established that they were part of a well orchestrated plan to spread falsehood, undermine and discredit efforts of government to end terrorism’’, she said.
All the suspects, except one, admitted that they met with Davis at a five star hotel in Abuja, to arrange for the negotiation with the Government.
One of them, Abubakar Yusuf, alias Baba Sani, admitted that he was a former member of the sect and was forced during the meeting to publicly indict Ali Modu Sherif as a member of the sect.
He said he got N500,000 for the deal. (NAN)
Madam we in Borno kwn who Ali Modu Sheriff is..... If dis is a plan by GEJ to clear Sheriff's name, then it has failed!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf your story is correct, why not work with the Australian government to extradite Davies to answer for charges of felony public incitement ??
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for Nigeria even a revered institution like DSS have joined in playing politics, propaganda and concuting of stories. What a shame!?
ReplyDeleteIts getting clearer now that indeed and truth the DSS as an organization lack credible administrators. They are bundle persons berift of ideas and coordination.
ReplyDeleteDon't mind them. They will soon apologize to those boys for wrongful detention and even pay montary compensation as usual. Very cuelless organization

ReplyDeleteAll of you are myopic in your reasoning. Here is a clear case with evidence to show and some people are still disbelieving what the DSS is saying? Our problem is we - we very sentimental and suffers from unholy prejudice and this is the sickness in Nigeria. All these are simply because a minority President Jonathan is in power. Those people arrested are alive you guys can interview them to find out the truth. We in the security force have witness great plots day in and day out by certain political opponent who are bent in seeing that nothing moves in this Country under this administration. There is a wise saying that what goes around comes around. At the end it will still be the poor masses like you that will suffer.
ReplyDeleteSee you see security. It is the DSS that advice and encouraged Mr president to pay a woffing one
ReplyDeletehundred million naira to sign for a
fake cease fire. Thereby throwing
such a huge amount of tax
payers money to the dust
bin..why did you not do the
underground work to ascertain if
they are real or not? You told Mr president that you have sited the chibok girls and he announced a date for their return but till today where are the girls. The sort mistakes the DSS vis a visthe president is making on daily basis leaves much to be desired. So childish so stupid. Yet you claim to be trained. NINCOMPOOPS.
If you have discovered plots to undermined a legitimate government what are you waiting to arrest such persons. That shows the government is family liver government.
ReplyDeleteThe Nigerian SSS or by what ever name called is a glorified boys scout. Period.
