SSS Uncovers Arms In Akwa Ibom Govt House •fayose Condemns DSS Invasion by tabisegroup(m): 9:47pm On Sep 05, 2015 |
Men of the Department of the State Service have
uncovered arms and ammunition from the Akwa
Ibom State Government House in Uyo.
It was learnt that the discovery was made during
a surprise raid. The operation was jointly carried
out by operatives from the SSS headquarters in
Abuja and the state command, according to
Premium Times. The SSS reportedly stormed the
Hilltop Mansion based on security reports.
After ransacking the entire residence of the
governor, which is yet to be occupied by the
serving Governor, Udom Emmanuel, the operatives
moved to guest houses and the presidential lodge,
said to be currently in use by ex-Governor
Godswill Akpabio.
Security sources said on Friday that the arms
were found in one of the guest houses while
searching for documents and Improvised
Explosive Devices.
When contacted, the state government declined to
comment on the report.
Meanwhile, Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele
Fayose, has condemned the invasion of the Akwa
Ibom Government House by the armed men of
Department of State Services.
Fayose said the manner the DSS ransacked,
intimidated and harassed the occupants, claiming
they were searching for bomb and documents,
was “strange and anti-democracy.”
The governor, however, accused the DSS of
acting a sinister motive to run down the Peoples
Democratic Party-controlled states, instead of
going after the Independent National Electoral
Commission suspected to have been involved in
graft.
He said, “Interestingly, the DSS under Alhaji Lawal
Daura that has turned Akwa Ibom State and other
states into centre of its draconian operations has
not deemed it necessary to invite for questioning,
the Yobe State Resident Electoral Commissioner,
Mr. Abu Zarma, in whose bank account N15m
alleged to be a bribe was found.
“From the barbaric act of the DSS and other
actions under Alhaji Lawal Daura in the last few
weeks, one can conclude that Daura is taking
Nigeria back to the 1984 era of Gen.
Mohammadu Buhari and this is unfortunate.
“No doubt, the DSS Director-General is acting out
a sinister script of taking over the PDP-controlled
states in the South-South and South East by
whatever means.
“Daura’s actions as the DG DSS are regrettable,
unfortunate, condemnable and unacceptable
because he has come to symbolise dictatorship,
which democracy abhors.”
Fayose, who addressed journalists on Friday in
Ado-Ekiti through his Special Assistant on Public
Communications and New Media, Mr. Lere
Olayinka, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to
call Daura to order or sack him if he was
uncontrollable.”
“As for me, I will continue to talk because Nigeria
belongs to all of us. Nigeria is not a banana
republic that can be ruled anyhow by anyone and
Daura should know that this reign of brute force
over constitutional democracy will fail.”
