I hope this is not true otherwise how can this be happening in Nigeria? These security offices and their leaders have sworn to uphold the supreme law of the land, is this what it is? Now the cover-ups and lies will start flying around in order to extricate themselves from the implications of the death of this man in their custody. When will we learn to uphold human rights and the sanctity of life? Even the actual boko haram criminals caught in the act are kept alive at tax payers expense and subsequently released yet they had to oversee the death of a man that by law is innocent until proven guilty!
If there is any justice or sense of decency some people like the DG of the DSS ought to tender their resignation or see to it that the parties responsible are immediately dismissed and prosecuted but no, his life is considered expendable in this regime of demons posing as leaders...

May his soul RIP whilst tormenting his tormentors!

I will not comment until it is confirmed officially.

As his lawyer had already appealed for him to be given access to his medication, if it turns out he is dead, it may well be the beginning of the end of Buhari. Radio Biafra would have been vindicated

Ex-CSO to President Jonathan, Gordon Obua Dies in SSS Custody
Posted By: Breaking Timeson: July 20, 2015In: Breaking News, Nation, NewsNo Comments
By Yemi Adebowale

Mr. Gordon Obua, former Chief Security Officer to President Goodluck Jonathan has passed away in the custody of Department of Security Services (DSS) in its Abuja Headquarters where he had been detained since Thursday, July 16, 2015 on the orders of President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigerian online newspaper, The Trent is reporting.

Sources who have been monitoring the situation have confirmed Obua’s passing. He was arrested on Thursday when he honoured an invitation by the DSS.

Obua, who was being detained by the DSS in an underground dungeon for undisclosed reasons was being denied access to his lawyers, family, and his doctors on the orders of the new Director General of the DSS, Lawal Musa, which serves as Nigeria’s secret police.

Our sources say Obua’s remains are still in the custody of the DSS at the time of filing this report. He was held without charges filed against him.

On July 18, 2015, Onochie Onwuegbuna, the lead partner at Zeran Legal, has issued a press statement on behalf of Obua’s family complaining about the conditions in which his client was being detained and said that his client was being witch-hunted by the Buhari government. He said his client was diabetic and hypertensive and was being denied his drugs as well as food and water by the DSS.

Obua, until his death, was an employee of the SSS and his employer knew about his medical conditions but decided, in impunity, to deny him access to his medicines and doctor, his lawyer alleged.

Onwuegbuna said that the Buhari government had ‘marked’ his client, and other individuals who held offices in Jonathan’s administration and the arrest of his client was a scheme, “in other to implicate them by all means for phantom crimes or offences”.

A non-governmental organisation, the Society for Global Justice had issued a statement on Obua’s continued detention at the DSS, on Saturday calling for the release of the former Chief Security Officer.

Executive director of the group, Mr. Marcus Ogabe confirmed that Obua was detained at the SSS headquarters in Abuja since Thursday.

The group also said the continued detention of Obua is indicative of “the tyrannical, autocratic and dictatorship tendency of the Muhammadu Buhari administration”.

If this is true then, this country is finished. I have been shouting from Day 1, Mr. Daura has taken the agency to the dogs. Which is what happens when you bring someone out of retirement, someone who is already bitter about his treatment in the service to head the service.

Some people might say he was sacrificed to cover for Jonathan's sins. But the fact that his lawyer raised allegations about his bad treatment in custody will rubbish every argument they intend to come up with. I sincerely pray this news is fake.

Whaaat! It will be a big dent on the image of this administration, if it is true. Why should they detain someone for so long? Without recourse to the law? Not even minding the man's health challenges? Now that is mean!

This is a sad reminder of what happened during the military era. It is highly unacceptable and should not happen in an enlightened society.

There is no need keeping people in underground dungeons. Access to personal doctor and lawyer should always be allowed. If this story is true then investigation must be made as to what really happened.

DSS just killed one of his own. Too appalling!!!

DSS and many other government agencies are tools in the hands of the government in the middle. This is a dent on the image of PMB's administration. Why deny the man his rights? In a sane country, heads would roll for this but Naija, na lie.

RIP to the dead.

While I doubt the report it will be very sad if the man actually dies in custody. I do not know what offence he has committed but detaining him since Thursday without being charged to court is ..... I hope we aren't returning to the dark days of military dictatorship.
We were warned.

Keep hoping. We are running a civilian dictatorship. Your eyes will all open sooner than later.

This is just the preamble. The leopard never can change its spots. Dictatorship has been ingrained and entrenched in some DNAs. No amount of meeting with democrats can change that.

For the sake of peace and economic growth of this country I just hope this story is false.I am not sure of Obua's ethnicity but I guess it would be from one of the Niger-delta states.If it turns out to be true,there surely would be disastrous repercussions!!! The avaerage Niger delta militant is not a coward and will definitely react when pushed to the wall

Expect a ressurgence of MEND and decline in Nigeria's revenue with attendant consequences on the economy.

On the international front,it would be a grave embarrassment for D3 right in the middle of an american visit.He might end up sacrifing the new SSS director to save his skin

These are my recommendations to make Police/DSS/EFCC/ICPC investigations of Ex-Govs and Officials easier and more successful:

Police/DSS/EFCC/ICPC should encourage petitions on financial impropriety from everyone including anonymous sources.

All petitions should be treated as plausible until proven otherwise. Petitions should not go public until after thorough investigation.

Police/DSS/EFCC/ICPC should stop arresting or interrogating financial impropriety suspects before completing their investigations.

After receiving petitions Police/DSS/EFCC/ICPC should gather and analyze the following information before interrogating the suspects:

• Petitioners are usually more than willing to supply evidences
• The time line of the alleged impropriety will be very useful
• The Code of Conduct Bureau assets declaration of suspects before and after leaving office should be obtained, valued and analyzed.
• The legitimate means of income of suspects within the time line should be valued and analyzed.
• With the new BVN registration cumulative worth of suspects (across all Banks) before and after leaving office is easier to obtain now.
• A random check on suspects' families and close associates assets and Bank account may solve some mysteries.
• Corporate Affairs Commissions activities of the suspects, friends and family during the time line may be useful.

Suspect interrogation should be the last stage before taking suspects to court. Information from suspects would help investigators affirm or edit the information they have.

On-the-spot investigations and interrogation should be swift and discreet as much as possible.

Suspects need not be treated as criminals even if there are incriminating evidences against them.

With thoroughness Judges may be able to determine criminal cases more expeditiously.
