Former Aviation Minister Sirika Lands In DSS Custody Over Nigeria Air Launch by DaddyJapan(m): 7:54pm On Jul 27, 2023

Former aviation minister Hadi Sirika has reportedly landed in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) over the recent “launch” of Nigeria Air.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Sirika arrived at the DSS headquarters in Abuja for questioning in a Range Rover SUV. He was reportedly grilled for several hours by DSS officials.

The questioning comes after the acting managing director of Nigeria Air, Captain Dapo Olumide, revealed that the plane that was unveiled as Nigeria Air was a chartered aircraft from Ethiopian Airlines.

Olumide told the Senate Committee on Aviation that the aircraft was used to unveil the Nigeria Air logo but that it was not yet operational.

The “launch” of Nigeria Air was widely criticised as a scam.

The plane that was unveiled was revealed to be over 10 years old and had previously been operated by Ethiopian Airlines and Malawi Airlines.

This is a developing story...

This will be good if true.

Hadi Sirika should appear before a National Assembly committee for a public hearing on the failed Air Nigeria project. I trust neither DSS nor EFCC on this issue.

The Koko here is the public hearing.

Also think about it, public hearing about change of Naira color involving Emefiele would have been more revealing to the members of the public than this DSS chamber interrogation.

Niger republic people really had a swell time siphoning Nigeria's common wealth.. they should probe this Nigeria Air very well alongside the money racketeering of Emefiele.

Anyone with questionable citizenship or ties with neighboring countries should forget presidency in Nigeria going forward cos it won't fly.

PBAT should ask Niger republic to bring money for the railway entering their country else they forget it.. there are pressing issues that need money in Nigeria, not some railway to a third world country.

Story story o. Nobody opened anything! Right from the start, even Aviation workers unions had expressed their concerns. They don't do Twitter or social media. They use labour pressure to act. For the days they went on strike during his time in office, it's no brainer that aviation workers will not forgive that man easily.

Should I have supported GEJ or the one with 3rd class and could not show anything for his 8 years in office as Anambra governor? If you are as audacious and patriotic like Buhari, maybe you would have been on the ballot for us to choose between you, GEJ and PMB.

ROLES AND FUNCTIONS OF SSS
The State Security Service (SSS) is enabled to perform its roles and functions chiefly by Instrument SSS No.1 of 1999 made pursuant to Section 6 of the National Security Agencies (NSA) Act 1986 Cap. 74, LFN 2004. It is worthy to note that over the years, other decrees (Decree No. 16 of 1976 and Decree 19 of 1986) charged the Agency with roles and functions that are very similar in content. These include but not limited to the following;

a. Prevention and Detection of any crime against the internal security of Nigeria;

b. Protection and Preservation of all non-military classified matters concerning the internal security of Nigeria;

c. Prevention, Detection and Investigation of threats of Espionage, Subversion, Sabotage, Terrorism, Separatist agitations, Inter-group conflicts, Economic crimes of National security dimension and threats to law and order;

d. Provision of protective security for designated principal Government functionaries, sensitive installations and visiting dignitaries;

e. Provision of timely advice to Government on all matters of National security interest and

f. Such other functions as may, from time to time, be assigned to it.

With the DSS increasingly straying from its core function in order to focus on financial crimes, one wonders if the EFCC would be of much relevance in the current dispensation. Is there something DaddyJP should know?

Well said dearie. Crooked criminals. The concern is that a Tinubu’s government have a lots of moral baggages bedevilling it let alone to arrest, investigate, prosecuted and convict these high profile criminals within its own fold.
