Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose said the Department of State Services (DSS) is behaving like a terror gang by approaching a court in Abuja to secure an order to detain Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah for another 14 days after a Lagos High Court ordered he should be released within 48 hours or be charged to court.

The governor at a press conference in Abuja Thursday decried disobedience of court orders by agencies of the Federal Government in the past two years.

He warned that the judiciary should be mindful of being used by the DSS to sustain its regime of tyranny by granting orders allowing the service to detain Nigerians perpetually.

“Our courts should not allow themselves to become willing tools to promote and sustain dictatorship.

They should be able to stand up against the tyrannical acts of the DSS by asking when it became the duty of the service to arrest and detain Nigerians for offences still being investigated,” Fayose advised.

The governor noted that head of Nigeria’s Islamic Movement (IMN), Ibrahim El-Zakzaky is still being kept in detention since December 13, 2015, which the DSS said it was for his personal safety.

The guilty are afraid

Montaque:

Before a corrupt judge or judicial system, the innocent is afraid. What Dss is doing with our judiciary is an abuse. The CJ of the federal high court should end the impunity. Every similar matter should be assigned to one judge for total determination

In other words they are an organized group of criminals.


DSS am just quoting Governor Fayose O

TwoBottles:
This man is fearless even in the face of adversity. We, the people of the Southwest region are proud of him and wish all our leaders can emulate him. It is not Fayose that is speaking, but God speaking through him. He is a true son of the Yoruba race and speaks our mind at all times. Let us listen to him!

seunmsg:
Fayose is not concerned about the allegation that Ifeanyi Ubah diverted petroleum products worth billions of Naira but he's here making noise about a valid court order that says the accused should be held for another 14 days to enable the DSS completes its investigation.

Thousands of poor Nigerians are wallowing in prisons and detention facilities awaiting trial with nobody to speak out for them but once an elite who had committed grievous crimes against the country is arrested, all hell is let loose and attention seekers like Fayose will start ranting about tyranny and injustice.
