Re: DSS: What Manner of Anti-Graft Agency?

Taming DSS and Judicial Corruption arraigned and that Section 36(5) guarantees a presumption of innocence

Muazu Pindiga, chairman of the Rivers State Election Petition

Tribunal.
As one commentator has poignantly observed, “One thing is of note: It

seems anybody who gives judgment against Mr. President or his allies

(agencies inclusive) are corrupt and henceforth once the govt (sic)

takes you to court you must be convicted or the judge is corrupt.”

Justices Adeniyi Ademola who are handling the case of former National

Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki and Nnamdi Dimgba who had berated the

DSS for disobeying his earlier rulings are said to be victims of this

brand of anti-graft war. Indeed, it is reported that not even the

observation by Justice Dimgba that his name was not on the Search

Warrant could deter the DSS operatives. What is more, President

Muhammadu Buhari had lamented his unpleasant brushes with Nigeria's

justice sector. Could the DSS have latched on the recommendation by

the NJC that Mr. Kabiru Auta be dismissed and promoted to pounce on

its perceived enemies? Hopefully, the days ahead will bring clarity to

this macabre dance.
