Sacked DSS DG, Lawal Daura demoralised, doesn’t know what he did wrong
Sacked DSS Director-General, Lawal Daura has denied that he was disloyal to the Federal Government when he ordered his men to block lawmakers from entering the National Assembly over three weeks ago.
Daura, who was sacked and arrested following a public outcry on the blockade, was accused of acting his part in a script by Senate President Bukola Saraki.
An associate of the disgraced former DG has, however, told PRNigeria that though Daura ordered the blockade, he was doing so in the Federal Government’s interest.
The source, who is not named, is quoted as saying: “Daura insisted that he took all actions in national interest through a collective responsibility including involvement of principal officers of sister agencies even though he did not disclose who authorised the siege on the national assembly,” the source said.
“While the former DSS boss has not officially handed over up till now, his house both in Asokoro and Gwarinpa were thoroughly searched in the night and nothing incriminating were found, and all items found including necklace, praying mat, CDs, ATM card, women bags, documents and receipts have been duly returned to him accordingly.”
According to the quoted source, the sack had demoralised Daura as he didn’t know what he had done wrong.
“Daura has been completely demoralised by the widespread insinuations of working for the opposition when he took daring moves to protect the presidency and the ruling party against the antics of the powerful opposition elements,” the source said.
“The allegation of being a mole is utter balderdash. Spymasters all over the world can be sacrificed but not to the extent of rubbishing their integrity and reputation on the altar of political considerations, especially a spymaster created by the same system considering the delicate and sensitive nature of intelligent services.”
