Newly appointed director general of the Department of State Security, Lawal Musa Daura, has demoted Marilyn Ogar, the agency’s former spokesperson, via a memo.


Apart from demoting Ms. Ogar, the acting DSS director general also directed the demotion of numerous other officers of the agency who were just promoted in March in what was seen as a politically motivated exercise.



Ms. Ogar was seen as a controversial official of the DSS who often made statements that were deemed partisan. Her promotion was viewed as a reward for doing dirty political jobs for former President Goodluck Jonathan and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Promotions of officers in the DSS are usually done at the end of each year, but Ms. Ogar and 44 others were promoted last March. Even so, their promotion was not made public until May.

RN learned that Ms. Ogar is currently on vacation, and is reportedly visiting her children resident in the US. In addition to her premature promotion, Ms. Ogar was was also offered a generous scholarship to do a PhD in the UK, according to one source at the agency.

Mr. Daura also fired Abdulrahman Mani, the chief security officer to President Muhammadu Buhari and immediately replaced him with Bashir Abubakar, an assistant director in the Bayelsa State command of the DSS.

Mr. Mani was then posted to Ebonyi State.

Happy you said just as expected, for Marilyn Orgar, demotion is mild, I expected her to be dismissed from the service for her unprofessional conduct during the Osun State guber election of 2014 and the last general election

Marilyn Ogar; Now, where is Jonathan to save your panel-beated puff-puff face from demotion?
I feel nothing but contempt for you.

You deserved to be flushed down the lavatory.

Marilyn how market?

This is why it pays to be a professional, you do your work without fear or favour and when politicians pressurize you to do the wrong thing inform them that you are bound by the PSR (Public Service Rules) to be appolitical.

Mbu J. Mbu next...

Hmm... twists and turns...
