Release Jonathan’s CSO, Family Begs DSS by Nobody: 9:22pm On Jul 19, 2015 |
The family of the then Chief Security Officer, CSO, to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr. Gordon Obua have raised the alarm over his continued detention by the Department of State Services, DSS. In a statement issued by its lawyer, Mr. Andrew Itsekiri, Sunday, Obua’s family accused the DSS of illegally detaining their son since last week Thursday when he was allegedly arrested at the behest of the new Director General of the DSS, Mr. Lawal Daura. They asked the security agency to either release Obua or change him before a competent court to answer to whatever allegation it has against him. Obua’s solicitor said information available to the family revealed that his client was being deprived of food, water and his medications. ”We can tell the public categorically that as we write, he has not been confronted with any allegation, neither was he given an opportunity to respond to any allegation before he was taken into custody. “His ordeal began about a week proceeding his eventual arrest last week Thursday, when the Director General of the SSS, Lawan Daura, sadistically on daily basis, requested that he should report to the SSS headquarters to respond to allegations known only to Lawan Daura and which he repeatedly failed to disclose to him despite repeated demands by the erstwhile CSO. “On each of the 7 days preceding his arrest, he would report to the SSS headquarters at about 8am in the morning and released to go back home at about 11pm without being confronted with any allegation. “At a stage, Daura requested from him if he (Lawan) should investigate the imaginary allegation or if a junior officer should do so. The consistent response of the erstwhile CSO was for him to at least know the allegation if any to enable him respond. “Lawan Daura never confronted him with any petition until he was taken into custody when he reported last Thursday. “As we write this, nobody can access him including family members, friends and his solicitors. “Considering that he is diabetic and suffers from serious high blood pressure, it is clear that the motive of Lawan Daura is to either watch him die in detention and or torture him to admit to crimes he knows nothing about”, read the statement which was signed by Mr. Itsekiri. Similarly, a group under the aegis of Advocacy for Societal Rights Advancement and Development Initiative, ASRADI, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in Obua’s matter. In a statement signed by its Executive Director, Mr Adeolu Oyinlola, ASRADI said: “We also wish to place on record the gestapo style adopted by operatives of the State Security Service who invaded the residences of the erstwhile National Security Adviser, NSA, in Abuja and Sokoto. “We demand the immediate, unconditional release of Mr Obuah or his swift arraignment if he has done any wrong. “ASRADI condemns in the strongest possible terms, any attempt to grant omnibus powers to the Department of State Services, DSS. For, what is the remit of the anti-graft agencies if DSS appropriates the right to investigate suspected/alleged fraud or embezzlement? “Why would the DSS be involved (directly or otherwise) in matters relating to petitions that are before election tribunals?”, the group queried. - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/release-jonathans-cso-family-begs-dss/#sthash.0rkLAi7z.dpuf

He will be released in the fullness of time. Let DSS squeeze out as much info as necessary from him first. I don't care what anyone thinks, PMB should use every means necessary to bring all crooks to justice. They've done enough damage to Nigeria and they never felt remorseful about it when they engaged in sabotaging the nation. 3 Likes |

Give him his medication so that you don't have a dead body in your hands. However, quiz him to details while it lasts even if it means tying his legs to a ceiling fan and do that thing 1 Like |

I am not against public officials being probed, but the law should not be broken while doing that. Let him be charged to court and prosecuted accordingly. |
