ABUJA – The Department of State Service (DSS),Tuesday, appealed to politicians to desist from habit of dragging security forces into political matter.

DSS disclosed that it was being hunted by political parties for rejecting the N14million bribe that was offered to its officials in Osun State, during the gubernatorial election that took place last Saturday.
The Spokesperson for the Department of State Services (DSS), Marilyn Ogar, who stated this during the routine security briefing at the National Briefing Centre, in Abuja said the service could not be induced with money.
Ogar said “The director that was in charge of election duty for the DSS was asked to come and collect N4Million for himself and N10million for the men, because the money was declined, that is the offence that the DSS has committed.
“The rejection of the money is bringing up a lot of misunderstanding between political parties and the DSS, it is unfortunate. I want to tell you, there is a big man occupying a very sensitive position in Osun State, the man should thank his God that it is not the DSS that arrested him with the huge sum of money he was found with.”

Maintaining that agency cannot be induced with money, Ogar said, “We are well paid, I will say it categorically, our operations are well funded, N14 million as against N200m that was spent, which one will you go for. People should stop using money to entice security forces. The federal government and the people of Nigeria who have engaged us have the capability of taking care of us.”
According to her, if security forces were not fully on ground during the period of the election, the story about Osun State would have changed while reiterating that political parties should as much as possible leave security forces out of politics.
“We thank God that APC worn the election in Osun State, there was no bomb blast because there was enough security presence on ground. The security forces that assisted in the election in Edo State were the same ones that went to Ondo, Anambra, Ekiti and Osun.”

Godfather in our polítics,one of the greatest threats to democracy.

See people already inputting silly and idiotic hasty conclusions of Marilyn Ogar's hazy reportage of what transpired in Osun

What will it cost the obviously political DSS to NAME and SHAME whoever it was that tried to induce them with N14million naira

Not until Nigerians think with their brains......

For me i dont buy this useless tale by Ogar........Name the person or shut up

It is a well known fact that bribery is illegal in Nigeria so if the DSS was offered a bribe and the person that offered the bribe was not arrested, then there is something wrong with the DSS

The spokesperson of the DSS should be ashamed of herself.

The DSS is supposed to report the bribery allegation to the Police Force for investigation and prosecution. The Press is the wrong place. During Obj's era judges and even a serving minister lost their jobs because of "BRIBE". In fact a Senate President was impeached in 2005 because of bribery allegation. Beside what does Ogar mean by "political parties (plural)"? Who and who are they? The President and the Inspector General need to investigate this allegation and bring the perpetrator(s) to book no matter how highly placed.

.Politicians should also avoid dragging Security agencies into politics.

Arrest a politician in Osun for bribery??. Describe what that headline will read in APC's news medias across the world

Who cares what the headline will read?

Are you saying the DSS should not do its job because of some headline?

AZeD1:

Who cares what the headline we read?

Are you saying the DSS should not do its job because of some headline?

You don't care?? Then you are not been realistic. The lies of APC and their headlines will burn like wide fires, before DSS has an opportunity to say their side of the story. We don't live in a vacuum.

hmm, NAIJA!

50mb@N100_1day+_airtime allowed 100mb@N200_3days_airtime allowed 330mb@N500_2wks_bank-payment only. 700mb@N1000_mthly_ bank-payment only 1gb@N1,400 -------- bank-payment only. 1.5gb @ N2,000 ---- bank-payment only 2gb@N2,500 -------- bank-payment only. 3gb@N3,900 -------- bank-payment

Nothing to hide, it is pdp! Buruji made the threatening call with N14M offer.

Trust it, if it were apc, the DSS would have made declaration of the person to seek favour of the presidency

I don't care what anybody would have said, the fact that the DSS didn't arrest the person means someone else will try next year and who knows what will happen then.
You don't broadcast your incompetence to the world.


Simple question
If the allegation by the DSS is true, did the DSS do their job or not?


Yes or No answer needed.

was that their reason for wearing masks and balaclavas? shameless agency which has replaced the "state" in their name to "pdp"

To be fair to the DSS , political consideration and maintaining a low temperature election climate was more important, than arresting this person. You are correct, this person should have been arrested regardless.

20 billions dollars like.
But some mumu will still come and blame APC..... in as much that the person might be PDP member because if he is actually APC member the person might be nabbed. But all the same , justice has already been abused in Nigeria. To say this is normal in her eyes for not arresting the big man but what is the agent and the police actually stand for? nothing but incompetence.

The paid hacks who have gathered like vultures salivating over this piece of useless media dummy being flown by the DSS do not have any iota of grey matter to know that....'he who alleges,must show proof'

The same way their curse-followed leaders have been saying they know Boko Haram sponsors all this while and have refused to arrest and prosecute them but have only concerned themselves with propagandising about the whole issue.

Whoever that have passed through the four walls of an higher institution will know that the DSS is just being a rabble-rouser

What caused them not to quickly set-up that individual who tried to bribe them by sending undercover agents to ask to collect the money from the man in question and arrest him right there and then or even on the contrary,the phone log by which she claim to have communicated with the man who ask them to come can be pull up and used as evidence

The useless people didnt do that only for them to come to the media to lob a cross to no one in particular

On a good day, i'd have asked why someone in the DSS was not sanctioned for this error but i'd let that pass and ask what did the DSS aim to achieve by announcing this to the press?
Don't you think they've emboldened other politicians to try this 'stunt' since there's no punishment for trying to bribe the DSS?

Tell us another story madam Marylyn ogar, we aint buying this poo. When Ibori offered Ribadu $15million, he came out publicly to announce it and the money was deposited with the court as evidence. If a public official attempted to bribe your operative with 14 million naira, why not arrest him, collect the money as evidence and prosecute him accordingly. Bribery is still a crime in Nigeria so why turn a criminal act into a media circus show?

she shd be arrested self, is she trying to encourage corruption by not telling general populace d name of the person n produce evidence 4 such

Nigeria's politicians are a different class of human beings. Close one loop hole and they will open another. Hopefully DSS coming out, to talk about this, will restrain them a bit. No kind of punishment will stop the average politician in this country from doing anything they think will further their political goals. Legal or illegal.

Did you not read the part where it was said that the person was lucky
it wasn't the DSS that arrested the man in question; or are we missing something here?

People are already pointing fingers as if the party was mentioned in the Op... chai, people mumu sha.

Mr man it is comment like yours that glorify mediocrity and incompetence in our body polity.
If DSS is unable to obtain a simple thing like evidence of the attempted bribery with all gadgets their budget provides, is it ordinary citizens that are expected to be able to prove such crimes.

The silly lady is even saying 'thank God' they failed to carryout one the duties to are paid for , to investigate and expose crime, another way of using religion to hoodwink us. I wonder which part of the DSS operational handout gives a role or office to 'God'.

The whole intention of the craftily worded media release is clear with many cretins here shouting APC is this and that.
