FOR publishing an exclusive report which exposed the rift between the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno and Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, the State Security Services (SSS) has commenced plan to arrest the PREMIUM TIMES journalist, Samuel Ogundipe, The ICIR has learnt.

Ogundipe’s report published last week by PREMIUM TIMES detailed how Monguno accused Kyari of undue and dangerous interference on matters bordering on national security and subsequently fired a warning memo to all service chiefs to desist from taking further directives from Kyari.

Multiple sources including PREMIUM TIMES have confirmed that the journalist is now concerned about his safety and has gone into hiding, following threats and information to extract from him the details of his source by the SSS.

According to the Signal report, Ogundipe was quoted as saying, “My email account was hacked yesterday. I have been told that they are looking for me to get the source who leaked the letter to me.”

Ogundipe is known for obtaining information on matters of national security, one of which led to his arrest and detention by the Nigerian Police in 2018, when he refused to reveal his source.

Former Chairman of Nigeria’s National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Prof. Chidi Odinkalu also confirmed the development in a tweet.

Malam Daura's Abba kyari actions poses far more threat for undermining National security than a journalist carrying out his legitimate business of exposing the unpatriotic acts....DSS would be put on leash, walahi I can bet you.
