‘Daura’s DSS Acted Like Mercenaries Hired To Kill,’ Says IGP’s Report

An interim report submitted by the Inspector General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, to the Presidency regarding the recent siege on the National Assembly, has indicted the Lawal Daura-led Department of State Services (DSS) for tending to “cause breach of public peace”.

The interim report also indicted Mr Daura and his hood-wearing men for “intimidating members of the National Assembly and staff by forcefully preventing them from performing their legitimate and constitutional duties thereby committing a crime with intent to incite and weep up sentiment of the National Assembly members against the Federal Government.”

The report noted that the DSS operatives, who were all bearing firearms and took strategic positions at NASS on Tuesday, invaded the premises and restrained “the peaceful members and staff of the National Assembly from gaining access to the complex without any element of crime committed or an invitation by the leadership of the National Assembly”.

IGP Idris recommended that the DSS should be made to provide the identities of the hood-wearing officials that invaded the NASS for investigation and questioning by the police.

The Police Inspector-General equally recommended that all identified DSS operatives that carried out the siege, including the disgraced DG, must submit their residences to the police for search.
