The Director General of State Security Services, Lawal Musa Daura, in a
rare chat with Aljazeera TV, monitored by our correspondent on Friday, has
assured Nigerians of a more resolute and professional service which will
attend to valid reports brought before it without prejudice to anybody.
“Whatever comes before us with facts and figures, it will be dealt with
equally as required by the law. Daura said.
Undistracted by the recent campaigns, the DG of Nigeria’s secret police
noted that the service will be accountable to the Nigerian citizenry
urging them to raise their expectations while affirming that ongoing
investigations and clampdown on corrupt persons and saboteurs of the
nation’s interests will be sustained.
In the less than 30 minutes chat, Daura who since assumption of office has
clamped down on alleged corrupt individuals and organisations added that,
“Nigerians should closely watch and follow what we have started and what
we will continue to do. I am sure they will not find us wanting.”
The Department of State Security under the new leadership is poised to
restore the confidence of citizens in the service, which has an
all-encompassing mandate to protect the interest of the Nation.
