I do not agree they have achieved nothing,mybe they have not achieved as expected,they are trying their best..you mention seperation of power,no gency is complaining yet tht the SSS is using its power,until they do do,let's foget them we cannot be crying more than the bereaved...if the RECs are innocent let them go to court....that's how dasuki shouted ,that he wwill tke them to court,we are yet to hear anything,he who must complain ,must only complain with clean hands!!!

barcanista:
The function of DSS as defined by Section 2, sub-section 3 of the National Security Agencies Act, Cap. 74, 2004, is limited to crimes, actions that bothers on the internal security of the country such ie counter terrorism and counter insurgents (eg Boko Haram). Naturally, one expects the DSS under this administration to be more focussed on intelligence gathering, assist the military to end BH, apprehend masterminds of bombings, and fish out sect sponsors. Sadly, the DSS seem to be interested in playing the roles of other agencies(listed below) while neglecting theirs.

1. Playing The EFCC Role:
The EFCC was created to pursue, investigate and prosecute Economic and Financial crimes. However, the press conference by DSS after the search on Dasuki Sambo's house showed that the DSS is so much interested in EFCC's role.


2. Playing The Role of The Army HQ.
It is the duty of the Army to determine who deserves army guards as well as when to withdraw the army guards. However, the DSS seem to be crying more than the bereaved.


3. Playing The Role of Department of Petroleum Resources:
The DPR is statutorily mandated to monitor marketers to ensure that they don't take advantage of consumers of PMS and other products. But a Vanguard report suggest that DSS is the new sheriff in town.

4. Playing The Role of Election Tribunal/Court:
When it comes to election matters, the tribunals/courts determines who wins and who loses, who rigged and who didn't, and who commits so-so offence. But the DSS is clearly interested in the job.

The Akwa Ibom REC was reported to have spent 13 days under the torture of DSS. It was also reported that the DSS invited and detained the INEC REC of Rivers state.

5. Playing The Role of The Police:
The Police is primarily mandated to ensure that there is no breakdown of law and order within Nigeria. However, the DSS is shown interest in their(Police) role when they(DSS) went to PDP National Secretarial in Abuja yesterday.

It is important to note that the DSS is yet to parade ANY Boko Haram suspect nor announce any grounding breaking operation with respect to the war against insurgents since May 29, 2015. We hope that the DSS will revert to their mandate and allow others do theirs especially at this time when their expertise is needed the most in the fight against terrorism.


May God Bless Us All

As long as they are doin it for the good of the nation and they diddnt go gaainst the constitution of the country,I think they re doing fine,if you have an issue with them..go to court...meanwhile...we now have a Leader..sai PMB!!!

hinwazaka:
The DSS's role is strictly limited to national security and nothing more. It can not be involved in economic or financial crimes
There is an agency assigned that duty(EFCC). It also has to be seen as been fair in the conduct of its duties. But unfortunately it appears to be keenly interested in matters that involve only the PDP. There are security situations in all parts of the nation so, one would expect the a national spread of its campaign, but alas it is only after PDP members or those that are rumoured to be affiliated with the PDP. We have to realise that when process is flouted, disorder and abuse will carry the day

barcanista:

I am afraid that Nigerians are having this kind of mindset. What has been the achievement of DSS? How will you say Sambo should go to court if "he's innocent" when he has told you that he will challenge the infringement? (anyway, the post is about the EFCC's role). The emboldened is very pathetic and ridiculous, so you mean the REC should go to court to prove their innocence When there are cases in court/tribunal already?

Mr Bacanista you should really spend your time getting an education as your ignorance is mind boggling.

Every crime (yes even common stealing) can compromise the internal security of the country. Boko haram did not start out as a terrorist organisation but may if the DSS had been proactive then, they won't have metamorphosed into what they are now.

So if the DSS feels anybody action is a threat to national security, its their job to act. You don't have to like they don't give a fu.k

[s]Did you just say every crime including financial crimes can compromise national security. So what then was EFCC and also ICPC created for.
The emergence of Boko Haram was primarily the fault of the DSS and defence ministry who failed to notice their transformation from a religious pressure group into a terrorist organization. Prior to their upgrade they were not the concern of the DSS, but rather were within the jurisdiction of the police.
The proper thing that should have been done in the Dasuki affair would have been to handover any materials that show evidence of financial impropriety to the EFCC, and act only on those that constitute a threat to national security. From the look of things it appears they have bungled the case and so have resulted to cheap blackmail and character assassination[/s].

bonechamberlain:
I noticed this, if the DSS is not careful they would start acting like a police.. this is supposed to be an elite team with the main purpose of gathering intelligence and thwarting any criminal or terrorist act against Nigeria. just like the army the DSS have started doing the work of the police. was shocked when I read sometimes that the DSS storms PDPs office. when I read so know reason for their action. Nigerians should be aware that the DSS is one of if not the only respectable security apparatus in nigeria . majorly because they are professional in exercising their duties and they are not to be seen everywhere like what is happening Now

saambo has yet to challenge this infringement..so something is fishy about him,the way his privacy was dirupted is bad ,so I expect him to come up with something quick!!!....am sorry..EFCC has not living up to dere role..so if DSS ovelaps role,I don't see anything bad der,as long as dey are not breaking the law,how are you sure that DSS are not woing with the army in this fight of boko haram,the may be lending the army intelligence...somone has to do a job..if an agency is sleeping,I think its fair for an active agency to takeover its role till the domant agency wakes up...this Nigeria will work,let's just give it time!!

but they did the same thing to APC last year.

Buhari is a DULLARD! Under his tenure, the DSS might probably also head the Islamic state affairs. That man is Nigerian's biggest mistake since democracy. Nice one, Barcanista

Mynd44:
1. Dasuki's case was one bordering on National security and they went with a warrant. It was during the search they discovered the cars. You might know (I don't think you know anyway) that to own a bulletproof car, you must have been cleared by all National security agencies including the DSS. So they were well within their constraints

2. Still Dasuki. They found on him high powered rifles which no one would have issued licence for. What is that, national security or what?

3. When oil marketers went on strike, the country was all but shut down. I think it is fair if we call our energy sector a national security one. In the USA, the FBI are called in issues of Economics that might threaten internal security or a cartel purposely hiking prices

4. Stop being a clown. When the DSS was used to escort electoral materials, you did not know you were also going to have them involved all through?

5. This is hilarious. The DSS can actually go into any crime scene they want and it is then their choice on whether to intervene or not. No arrests were made and they left them to their issues.

You people make this too easy

Taking advantage of consumers is a crime that a National security outfit should investigative? What becomes of the NCC or in this case the DPPR
The detention and interrogation of electoral officials prior to a major case doesn't appear to you as fishy. That is seen as manufacturing of evidence or influence of the court. In civilised nations there is something called JURISDICTION. The CIA cannot hop on a investigation being handled by the FBI without the approval and consent of the FBI, after showing how clearly how the case relates to national security
And your last punch was like feather tickling. No one can comprehend what you were trying to pass across

Passingshit, Beremx the she-male and Ugeneukwenu aka Cleverly are peeping. waiting for u idiots!

No as I have shown the DSS can enforce any law of the land,

Mandate

The mission of the SSS is to protect and defend the Federal Republic of Nigeria against domestic threats, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of Nigeria, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to both federal and state law-enforcement organs. The SSS is also charged with the protection of the President, Vice President, Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, State Governors, their immediate families, other high ranking government officials, past presidents and their spouses, certain candidates for the offices of President and Vice President, and visiting foreign heads of state and government. The SSS has constantly adapted to various roles necessitated by evolving security threats in Nigeria including counter-terrorism and counter-insurgent
