A legal practitioner and social critic, Inibehe Effiong, has called out the Department of State Services, DSS, over how it is handling the case of Godwin
Effiong claimed that the agency “shamelessly went after Emefiele over possession of primitive guns while Asari Dokubo, who he said had publicly displayed an assault rifle, was busy raising a private army and walking freely.”
According to him, it amounted to desecration of the court, alleging the service is a political and partisan tool in the hands of every occupant of Aso Rock.“The show of shame at the Federal High Court in Lagos is a vindication of those of us who have said time and again, that this so-called law enforcement agency is nothing but a political and partisan tool in the hands of every occupant of Aso Rock.
“Such despicable sights should not be tolerated in a constitutional democracy. Mr. Tinubu retained Mr. Bichi as the DG of the SSS because Bichi is always willing to deploy the agency to witch-hunt Tinubu’s perceived political foes. “However, all that the government has been able to come up with so far are two ridiculous and dubious charges of illegal possession of firearms.
