A Civil Society Organization, Save Nigerian Movement (SNM), has insisted that the recent call for the sack of the Director General of the Department of State Security, Mr Yusuf Magaji Bichi, is unwarranted.
SNM, in a statement signed by its Convener, Rev. Solomon Semaka, noted that the call was a reckless ploy and an after-thought deployed by powerful criminal suspects undergoing trial in line with the rule of law.
He described the calls as a desperate bid by criminal elements to deceive Nigerians and curry public sympathy against the service, in particular, and the federal government, in general.
“These individuals have resorted to a smear campaign against the federal government, apparently in a bid to evade justice and gain control of the system.
“These high-profile and very powerful criminal syndicates already in custody have deployed their enormous financial war chest in a battle of vendetta against the service, to the detriment of national security and Nigerians.
“As a frontline Civil Society Organisation committed to promoting democracy and societal values, we deem it necessary to condemn the purported call for the sack of the leadership of the DSS and threats of nationwide protests by those we consider as crisis entrepreneurs, who always make themselves available to be bought by wealthy criminals, to the detriment of Nigerians.
“It is troubling that some Nigerians have sold their conscience to the same corrupt elements that impoverished us while in public office, indulging in all forms of criminality instead of service to the nation. The allegations made by these crisis entrepreneurs against Bichi and the DSS are baseless, to say the least, and a clear case of corruption fighting back,” Semaka said.’
