Opposition Political Parties have accused sacked former Director General of the Department of State Security, Mr. Lawan Daura of allegedly extorting over N5billion from politicians to compromise the operations of the secret police agency.
Daura, a key member of the Buhari Cabal was sacked by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo after he ordered the sealing of the entrance of the National Assembly complex.
The opposition Parties under the aegis of Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP, in a statement signed by Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, demanded for the immediate sack of officers of the DSS who have been working with Lawan Daura.
The statement reads:
Opposition parties have applauded the Director-General of the Department of State Services for issuing a disclaimer against his disgraced predecessor, Lawal Daura, for extortion and impersonation activities in the name of the DSS.
We are aware of the under table dealings of Daura and members of Aso Rock Cabal aimed at ensuring that the DG DSS is sacked for refusing to embark on mass arrest of opposition leaders and sharing of money meant for DSS operations.
We are also aware that the former DG has collected over N5b in bribes from desperate politicians. He has used the money to compromise some insider staffs to run parallel DSS operation outfit.
We are therefore calling for the sack of all DSS directors who have been taking instructions from the disgraced former DG from his private home.
The DSS has shown that he has the capacity to stand on the right path.
The opposition is therefore demanding that the DSS arrest Lawal Daura and charge him for extortion and impersonation.
