The Department of State Service (DSS) seems to be in trouble already as some policy reversals which operatives consider as “witch-hunt” are being implemented just four days after a new Director General took over.

The DG Lawal Daura has, for instance suspended promotions done this year in the Service which were approved by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Sources in the administration said that the former Spokesman of DSS, Marylyn Ogar who got an approval to proceed on three years study leave during the tenure of the former DG, Ita Ekpeyong has been asked to return to the country immediately.

A source who clarified the process of promotion in the Service however said on Saturday that “promotions in the DSS are recommended by the Service, forwarded to the National Security Adviser, who ratifies and then forwards to the President for approval.

The source said: “All these steps were followed. These promotions were duly approved by immediate ex- President Goodluck Jonathan before they were effected. It is difficult to prove any lapses or irregularities in that process because the incumbent DG, Daura, was also a beneficiary of a similar exercise when ex-DG, Ekpenyong Ita promoted him to the post of a Director at the twilight of his career shortly before he retired from Service.”

President Buhari in a circular approved the reversal of all promotions in the DSS approved by the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan from March 31.

A memo released to operatives of the secret police and signed by Toma Minti on behalf of the DG indicated that President Muhammadu Buhari had spotted “observed lapses” in the promotions released from March 31 and has accordingly directed a suspension.

The personnel affected include those promoted, converted and upgraded within the period under review. They are, therefore, to revert to their former ranks with immediate effect.”

It was gathered that panic has already gripped operatives of the Service, following allegations of a possible witch hunt as it was said that some departments, including the Public Relations and the Institute for Security Studies were being already penciled for certain actions.

The memo directed all affected personnel to revert to the old ranks while a committee was constituted to review all cases.

“If President Buhari had actually ordered the suspension, then he must have been grossly misled. Come around and sample the opinions of my colleagues and you would be amazed at such low morale that pervades the Service since the release of the circular”, another operative said.

The Northern Agenda continues... No harms to the other half

We are all watching in 3D

God I thank you

Lies. Propaganda.

Mary Ogarln demoted? Good riddance to bad rubbish!

Buhari Is working.

We talked about change and that is happening now.

We talked about corruption, and BABA is fighting it now by dissolving the NNPC board. And this very corrupt woman has been recalled to face justice.

Step by step Nigeria will change in Buhari's tenure. When was the last time you heard any person steal millions, let alone billions under baba?

Those fighting Buhari are the thieves, and supporters of the past thievery/corrupt govt.

SAI BABA.

confused goverment

Serves her right. But am beginning to detest PMB's move o.

Fraudulent study leave - how convenient.... Power is transient

The new govt is collapsing all PDP structures left in every govt agency. Its a development whc shldnt be surprising. PMB is puttn in place pple dah he blivs can push hz agenda. GEJ had hz nd wats gud for d goose is gud for d gander!

if only the unprofessional Marilyn ogar can be demoted, suspended and dismissed am fyn.

Ghen ghen!Action is soon about to start after d 1month of preamble.Ogar should count herself lucky she is still even in the service.
Expecting further drastic actions and sackings as PMB starts to settle down to the biz of correcting the rot.
One thing for sure by d time PMB finally begins to act fully,this nation would never be d same again.Many heads would roll and there would be gnashing of teeth in many offices and homes.
Baba we are 110% behind you.

Ok

Since due process was followed and buhari still went ahead to reverse what was duly done, I recommend that those affected by this illegal demotion exercise should proceed to court and seek justice. Why will Buihari bring his Daura brother to witch-hunt imaginery enemies?

Hmmm.... by the time PMB implements his plans for Nigeria even by half ehn.

Some people go know say slowly and surely Change has come.

It will be painful to some but Nigeria is on a better road.

DSS, NNPC, MILITARY, NIMASA etc...

Watchout!

The question is, is it legal to reverse what was done according to due process? Those who support illegality provide bastion for tyranny to thrive!

Marylin Ogar is better sacked and prosecuted for her partisanship and unprofessional conducts.

All these dulllard's behavior is only hurting our security institutions.

He should also fire all southerners in the army and police. Shebi na we and una dey this contri

I'd personally be disappointed in Baba if Marylin Ogre is only demoted and not prosecuted for dereliction of duty. That woman is the worst thing that ever happened to the DSS.

If true ,then Buhari on track.
Fayose next.
Clowns

Sai Buhari
