DSS Bars EFCC From Arresting Ita Ekpenyong by DONSMITH123(m): 2:30pm On Nov 21, 2017
Eniola Akinkuotu, Abuja

Drama is currently playing out at the home of a former Director-General of the Department of State Services, Ekpenyong Ita, as men of the DSS are preventing operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission from arresting him.

Our correspondent who is also at the scene, reports that EFCC operatives arrived at the scene around 11am with an arrest warrant.

The EFCC officials and armed policemen numbering over 50 attempted to enter the premises located at 46 Mamman Nasir Street, Asokoro but the heavily armed DSS officials, some of which are wearing masks, refused to allow the EFCC men inside.

The DSS officials simply said they were acting on “orders from above”.

Ita has been under investigation for his alleged role in the disbursement of funds meant for arms.

While a former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (Retd.) and other service chiefs have been arraigned, the DSS has refused to release its own officials for probe.

The DSS and the EFCC have been at loggerheads for over a year which culminated in the DSS sending a report to the Senate not to confirm the acting Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu.

Its simple.
Lawal Daura knows if he allows the EFCC to arrest Ita,he would open himself to arrest for his past and present misdeeds in that office,when he vacates.
Daura is not interested in Ekpeyong Ita being arrested or not,he is just pre empting his own future arrest.

If u thoroughly read this post u will understand and give a deep thought into this matter, u will have no option than to agree that the issue is similar to what might have happened or occurred or even a resemblance of something that will definitely elude a mere human prowess and finally come to the conclusion that I have nothing to say

Wonders shall never end, It is only in Nigeria that synergy between armed forces or parastatals will only go well when a poor Nigerian is a suspect.
