The All Progressives Congress (APC) has
dismissed as hogwash the findings of the
Department State Services (DSS) following a
raid on the party’s offices in Lagos, describing
the agency as an embarrassment to all
intelligence-gathering organisations around the
world.
On Wednesday, the DSS disclosed that the APC
was planning to hack into the database of the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), and accused the party of registering
underage persons and foreigners as its
members.
Speaking on Wednesday through Lai
Mohammed, its spokesman.the party described
the timing of the release of the findings as a
plot orchestrated in collusion with the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) to distract it from its
campaigns ahead of February elections.
It also described as “disingenuous, flimsy,
premeditated, partisan and an irritant, the
conclusion that it had a plan to inflate its
membership data as well as hack into INEC’s
voter registration database through the creation
of party membership forms and cards to match
INEC’s voters register across the country”.
“First, the DSS and the PDP said the APC was
cloning Permanent Voter Cards at the raided
office, without a shred of evidence. Now, after
a painstaking investigation, the DSS has found
out that the APC was only planning to inflate its
membership data and then hack into INEC’s
database. And this is the outcome of its
massive, months-long investigations.
“This would have been funny if it were not from
a primary domestic intelligence agency saddled
with a great responsibility. Can this wishy-
washy report stand any serious scrutiny? Can
any serious intelligence gathering agency
anywhere else in the world take this report
seriously? With this kind of findings, one can
now understand why Boko Haram has
continued to strike at times and places of its
own choosing without any prior knowledge by
our all-powerful DSS.
“Even the presentation of the report by a poorly-
trained and highly-politicised spokesperson of
the DSS worsened the so-called findings. Why
would the spokesperson of a national agency
sound like a megaphone for the ruling party,
freely castigating the opposition spokesman
and ‘a number of uninformed members of the
public’? Why does she have to go personal in
presenting a report that supposedly is in the
national interest?
“We have always warned that our democracy is
in clear and present danger, not just from
desperate politicians, but also from institutions
of state that have compromised in their roles
and resorted to crass lawlessness. The DSS’
findings today have given us another reason to
repeat this warning.
“While we are willing to meet the DSS in court,
we can confidently say that the confessions
extracted from the arrested persons, after they
were subjected to incredible acts of torture,
cannot even stand in any court of law.”
The party recalled that in its statement of
December 5, 2014, it accused the DSS of
resorting to the use of torture to obtain forced
confessions from those who were arrested
during the first raid on its data centre in Ikeja.
“In that statement, we called the action of the
DSS a contravention of the UN convention
against torture to which Nigeria is a signatory
and a violation of the citizens’ fundamental
human rights,” it said.
“We also said the DSS shackled the hands and
legs of those arrested and blindfolded them
while they were being taken to Abuja. The
arrested persons remained in chains even at
the dark detention cell where they were made to
sleep on the bare floor for the 10 days they
were detained illegally.
“Guns were pointed at their heads by DSS
personnel who threatened to shoot them, while
a pregnant woman among those who were
arrested was denied access to her drugs even
when she started bleeding due to the torture to
which she was subjected by the DSS. Now the
DSS has confirmed what we said in that press
statement. Is anyone still surprised at the
action of countries that are distancing
themselves from Nigeria over human rights
violations?”

DSS fakery and hogwash.
