The operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have been very busy in recent times. They have been “fingered” in many “developments” all over the country. One can say the agency is fighting for relevance as the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are daily taking the shine away from other security agencies. In this new political dispensation though, the DSS has “reformatted” and has found far wider roles than it had ever did before.
The DSS stormed the Ekiti State House of Assembly complex in the state capital of Ado in a commando style and arrested some members of the House and took them to Abuja.
what has happened to the old style of invitation for questioning? Does the DSS have information that these legislators would have absconded if invited to report for questioning?
Does this justify the need to rush in and arrest them on the floor of the House? Was there any thought of “innocent until proven guilty”?
The manner of invasion of the house and the arrest has seriously cast doubt on the sincerity, transparency and neutrality of the agency.
Speaker Oluwawole said he and his colleagues “got it on good authority that the script now being acted by the DSS is part of the APC and President Buhari’s clandestine plot to cripple the Ekiti State Government by arresting and detaining top functionaries of the government,” because of his “critical stance on the Buhari-led government.”
Nigerian are watching, Nigerians are wiser.
