Kingsley Kuku, that was addressed to the DSS DG since 2012 which has only being in the custody of the Amnesty office and the DSS were among the documents that were leaked to the public.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This breach and failure did not only compromise the integrity of the DSS, but also exposes our national security. Which is why we need urgent answers on why someone who is serving as the current Amnesty Boss will allegedly leak classified documents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Kingsley Kuku\u2019s report to the DSS was inside the Amnesty office while the attempted assassination of President Jonathan\u2019s statement which was hand-written by General BoyLoaf and kept hidden inside the DSS Headquarters and has always and only been in the DSS headquarters were leaked on Facebook.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most surprisingly, both secret documents were leaked at the same time on \u201cMeinbutus Voices\u201d Facebook page shortly after meeting with Mr. Dennis Otuaro, the Amnesty Boss. How were these classified documents leaked to the public? Did they pay someone inside the DSS Headquarters to give them these documents?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The group said it has petitioned the South African Government, the United States Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the British Government and several governments around the world to launch investigations of alleged Terrorism Financing and International Money Laundering &#8220;Between these individuals and Henry Okah\u2019s gang in their failed assassination plot of their country\u2019s Presidents and Diplomats that was at the Eagle Square on 1st October 2010.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;May we remind the world that the information that General BoyLoaf provided to High-ranking DSS Agent enabled them to stop all vehicles from going into Eagle Square. This move possibly saved the lives of hundreds of people, including the life of the then President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan GCFR.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>-Warns of smear campaign against Boyloaf By Bayo Davids A group, the National Coalition for Strategic Governance (NCSG) has hinted of a campaign of calumny against ex-militant leader, Chief Ebikabowei&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":114600,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-114599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
