God bless you.

APC should stop crying... they should approach the court.

Haba...

KEYSERSOZE:


I see such banners everywhere in Lagos, even on public toilets. That is not the kind of signage you use for offices. Saw a mad man once @ yaba by the rail line wearing such banner. If a train crushes him, am very sure Mr Lai would say "GEJ orders New PDP trains to crush all APC party agent".

wirinet:


So what is the offense here? Is it an offense no to put up a signpost in front of an office. I for one refuse to put up a sign post in front of my office, have i broken Nigerian law? I have been to a big packaging office at Oba Akran in Ikeja, it took me hours to locate the office because there was no sign whatsoever in front of the big factory.

To me putting up a sign post or not is at the discretion of the owners of the office.

Even as big as bet9ja is, I had a difficult time locating their head office at Ojuelgba, because at that time there was no sign whatsoever in front of their office. Now there is only a small banner at the Gate.

This is the favourite quote of PDP, they commit all sorts of Illegality with the excuse of "Go to court" know fully well that they have basterdized the judiciary. It would take years to get reprieve in the courts if you get it at all. By the time the case gets to the supreme court, the judgement would have become irrelevant. Elections is coming up in less than 3 months time, and the PDP is intimidating opponents and the opposition party with police, DSS, SSS, and hooded men, and they are screaming go to court.

duni04:

Spoken like a true illiterate. So the DSS has the right to invade and vandalise houses in Lagos or any other part of Nigeria without signage?

Stop mixing issues here. The question is did DSS know it was APC that were occupying the Premisses? If they are gathering evidence, why were they destroying the computers? Who was the person that petitioned APC? And why did they impersonate the Navy when the Nigerian Navy has officially said they had nothing to do with such operation.

PDP want their hands on a copy of APC membership register. The question is what dubious agenda does the killer party has in motion?

mrofficial:


Show to the world PDP data centre with signs! Hypocrite!

Mogidi:


The DSS has the right to invade any place used for nefarious activity, if you have a problem with that, I suggest you head to court.

Mogidi:


Its ok not to put a sign post of your business, except you're in the business of campaigning for votes in which case publicity is vital. Are APC offices shy of publicising their party?

chamboy:
After reading different statement from dss n Apc spokesperson. Here are my questions..
1. Why did DSS disguise in NAVAL outfit?
2. Why did DSS destroy the hard drives of the Systems n server?
3. Why did DSS arrest the 18 workers?
4. When did Search Operation become the work of DSS?
5. After the Raid, What did DSS come up with.


APC was so fast to claim the building, seems they are confidence that it a genuine Business Center...

duni04:

The onus is on the DSS to prove to a judge that nefarious activities are taking place in that place and obtain a warrant to search the place. Let's even agree that illegal activities were taking place there. If the DSS tries to prosecute the persons involved, the case will be thrown out on a technicality because there was no warrant to search the place in the first place.

ocelot2006:


1) I suggest you read the post again. It says it was a joint operation Btw the DSS and the Navy, not DSS disguised as Navy personnel. Btw, I'm pretty sure it wasn't the Navy but the Nigerian Police Force, cos both Forces wear blue camouflage. Using the Navy makes no sense.
2) All I see is a rack without the servers and PCS without their hard drives. So that means the DSS catered them off for investigation. I do not see any smashed drives or servers.
3) Yes arrest were made so as to determine the culprits behind the hacking operation which Btw is a cybercrime.
4) The DSS is the nation's domestic intelligence service and secret police. Yes they have the right to carry out arrests and searches. Read about them.
5) Investigations are never completed overnight. When they're through the DSS will inform the public.

Overall, great job DSS

Mogidi:


Why would the DSS need to warn them they were coming by going to court? Wouldn't that give them ample time to destroy all records?

Mogidi:
You seems to speak with conviction, were you there when the raid took place? How are you sure the APC staff didn't destroy those computers to hide their activities?

Oga to obtain a warrant from a judge! If you know there's nothing sinister behind your search, the protocol is to go to a judge and get a warrant to search the place. Its not a long process.

You seem to pretended as if it did not happen. Now you want to spin it that APC destroyed their facilities, even when DSS has come out to announce they carried out the operation. How more pathetic can you be?

“A source sent a petition to us that they were using that office to corrupt INEC computer systems and hack into the network so that they can replicate permanent voter’s cards.

“We watched the place for two weeks and got a valid warrant from the court to search the office. When we got there, we saw over 50 computers.

[size=20pt]“The building in question has no signboard indicating that it is APC office. We monitored the place for about two weeks after the petition before we got in. When we got in today (Saturday), we saw over 50 computer sets with about 18 staff.

“Other political parties have signboards and signposts indicating that it is their office. There was nothing indicating that it belonged to a political party.”

APC WHY? Why ?? Why
we go hear the truth soon. more revelations coming ...

Have your investigation proven they didn't have a court order?

tommysparks:
my brother not having a signpost in your place of business contravene the company and Allied act and apc is dully registered with cac hence they are bound by that act to have a signpost in their office and branches nationwide.

As much as I respect the DSS, Ogar doesn't have any idea of what she's saying.

1. If she says there was an attempt to hack the INEC network, does that means INEC an important and sensitive institution doesn't have an intrusion detection system? In fact the IPs that should be able to access the database should be limited.

2. If the APC data centre was an hacking office, you don't need to physically be in the premises to access their logs. DSS officials can access it if they are really good. Also with the manner they stormed the office, it would have been easy for the alleged hackers to clean up evidence, with a single button that evidence will be wiped clean.

3. If a real hacker wants to hack, he/she won't need a party office to do it. Even dumb hackers always get the 'gist' about location.

Ms Ogar needs to come up with a more compelling argument to convince me.

duni04:

Lol who was hacking what?

duni04:

They obviously did not because the DSS spokesperson did not mention it and the APC did not see it. If they did have a warrant, there wouldn't be any need for this thread because the search would have been a legitimate one.

blackfase:
While a hack could be possible, & while I also do not trust the desperadoes in APC, DSS acted very unproffessionally doin vandalism. What happened to gathering hard evidence from the wares to that effect?....
I so so hate Nigerian politics & its polithievcians. Everything is just becoming more & more ludicruous by the day....... *spits on them all

JANK23H:

You are the ignorant one here.The data centre of a major political party should have a sign post where their members and everybody can identify it,otherwise they are hiding something.
