The Director-General, Department of State
Services, Mr. Lawal Daura, has said that the service will sustain the
clampdown on corrupt public officials and other saboteurs.
In an apparent reference to the ongoing
probe of former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.) and
crude oil thieves by the DSS, Daura said the agency would be
professional, noting that the service under his leadership would be
accountable to Nigerians.
Daura,
who replaced Ita Ekpeyong a few weeks ago, said this in an interview
with Aljazeera TV, monitored by our correspondent on Friday.
The DG said, “Whatever comes before us
with facts and figures, it will be dealt with equally as required by the
law. The ongoing investigations and clampdown on corrupt persons and
saboteurs of the nation’s interests will be sustained.”
Daura assured Nigerians of a more
resolute and professional service which he said would attend to valid
reports brought before it without prejudice to anybody.
He urged Nigerians to raise their
expectations, adding that the secret police were poised to restore the
confidence of citizens in the service.
In the less than 30 minutes chat, Daura
said, “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.”
