Do Nigeria Have Any Secret Intelligence Agency? by 4ckyou: 9:55am On Jun 02, 2019
Am just thinking, as US have CIA and UK have MI6, do Nigeria have any secret Intelligence working outside nigeria?

With the way boko haram are killing people I believe they are being sponsored outside nigeria, they are already loyal to ISIS, if we are to win the war against boko haram it is mandatory that we have secret services working outside nigeria and gathering information.

We are talking about agency working for the country here!!!

Op the truth is that FG does not want the issue of bokoharam to be resolved

You will know this is true when you see FG put their mind in bringing an enemy and opponent down!

The zeal they put in can never be compared to that of the Bokoharam!!!

It's very disheartening to see this kind of lame comment in where sound minded people discussing a serious issues like what the op brought here. Back to your question we have NIA and they are very active for example during Jonathan administration it was NAI that told General Azasi NSA to Jonathan who are behind boko haram menace then but instead the government to take the matter up they politicize it then. Eve Azasi life was cut short Because of this matter. However boko haram menace will not stop any time soon, and a northern president can't stop boko haram except the elites support him.

I have read many security warning from them. I think why we hardly heard about them like their foreign counterpart is simply because Nigeria government are not interested in bringing down any government. i.e Nigeria is not after who govern Benin Republic, Niger or Ghana to mention few.
The mentioned agencies are there to do the dark job for their respective government. I'm sure you get my point.

Back home, Nigeria government are behind the terrorist groups we are seeing around, don't want to disturb myself again because Al majiiri system alone should tell you more.

even gambia has secret service....maybe underfunded but its still a secret service....

stop thinkin little of yourselves....

you may not have that much like western nations but you are not that weak....

We have but they are doing something else

DSS is busy running beside VIP cars, they were supposed to be like FBI, they should have been the only outfit to make arrest with sufficient evidence already gathered but apart from running beside cars, the best service they can offer is to screen prospective political appointees

As for NIA, all they do is to issue warnings

The two of them are very good in following people's posts on nairaland, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and the rest

Yeah we have but they lack professionalism. Remember in 2006 when we were in NYSC camp in Bayelsa. I never knew that one of my friend is camp them was an under cover agent registered as a corp member.
He stayed in our Hall, wore corpers clothes and did all corpers were doing. One evening, he had disagreement with a soldier. The soldier slapped him, we were angry at the soldier and tongue lashed him. He told me in confidence that the soldier must apologise. I smiled it off. The next day I saw the same soldier apologising and begging him. I asked him what he did for that to happen, he just smiled and said he reported him to the camp commandant. I was confused. All these things were happening during the high point of militancy in the Nigeria Delta area.
After the camp, we all left. I saw him again in one government occasion in Yenagoa. He was wearing black suit with big automatic gun concealed in his suit. We were all in our NYCS uniform. He was in the midst of DSS guys all dress in black suits and armed. I approached him and he smiled and told me he was undercover in NYSC camp all through our camp period. That was when I remembered the incident of the soldier.

Undercover work in Nigeria by the security agencies is very poor. I personally would have loved to be a civilian secret undercover agent for the DSS. Unlike in USA where such civilian agents and informants are paid huge amounts of money, I suppose here in Nigeria, it'd be peanut.

Yes we have Secret Amebo and WitchHunting Agency like Daura Special Services (DSS), Nigeria International Amebo (NIA) and Daura Militia International (DMI).

Their job is Political Witch Hunting, Amebo Services, Harassment of Opposition politicians and more.

Very poor and unprofessional intelligence officer. In other climes intelligence officers blend with their surroundings that no other person is aware they are intelligent officers except their superiors and colleagues. Here, the camp commandant already, knew, the soldier that slapped him knew and I am sure he would have boasted to others, especially female corpers. What if the camp commandant or the soldier that slapped him was a security threat?

Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen issue is an intelligence failure. DSS and NIA should be able to infiltrate them to pass valuable information on their operations and their sponsors. That's how CIA, FBI, MOSSAD, M16 and KGB works.

Compared to intelligence agencies in civilised climes, ours is a joke. Even sharing intelligence among our local security agencies is a problem because of claims of superiority and inferiority. All our agencies do is to attack political opponents and do the bidding of the government of the day.
