A Senior Advocate of Nigeria,
Femi Falana, has called for the investigation of the sacked Director General of
the Department of State Services (DSS), Lawal Daura.
The legal luminary accused Daura
of human rights violations, abuse of office, corruption, incompetence and crass
impunity.
In a statement on Tuesday after
Matthew Seiyefa was appointed as acting DG, Falana said Daura shouldn’t have
been appointed in the first place.
Falana noted, “Having regards to
the fact that he was removed from the DSS for incompetence, Mr. Daura should
not have been appointed as the DG of the security agency. He exhibited such
empty arrogance and crass impunity.
“Daura constituted such colossal
embarrassment to the federal government. I call on the acting DG of the SSS to
release the hundreds of detainees being illegally held incommunicado in the SSS
detention dungeon.
“I had a running battle with
Daura over the illegal detention of many detainees, including Zamfara
legislators, 2 Indian nationals, politicians, student leaders, journalists etc.
“He prevented the federal
government from complying with the orders of the court to release Col. Sambo
Dasuki, Ibraheem Elzakzaky and his wife, Zeinab Elzakzaky.
“He housed the fugitive,
Abdurasheed Maina. He countermanded the nominations of the President and
colluded with fifth columnists to sabotage the democratic process.
“Allegations of human rights
violations, abuse of office and corruption which marred Daura’s tenure should
be fully investigated.”
