After
being held for days without any charge, The Department of State
Security (DSS) on Tuesday night released Mr. Gordon Obuah, Chief
Security Officer to former President Goodluck Jonathan
Competent
security sources informed PRNigeria that Obuah slept in his house
Tuesday night along with his family after a comprehensive de-briefing by
operatives of the Department.
“He was released around 10pm Tuesday’s night,” the security source disclosed.
A
serving operative with the DSS, Obuah had on Tuesday afternoon
expressed surprise at widespread insinuations that he had died while
being interrogated.
PRNigeria
reported Obuh as speaking with reporters at the headquarters of the DSS
in Abuja saying “gentlemen of the press, let me use this opportunity to
thank all Nigerians, members of my family and concerned citizens who
have expressed very serious concerns for the past six days because of
the prevailing situation between I and my office.
“This
morning my attention was drawn to the fact that I have died in
detention. This has caused serious anxiety within the public. I want to
use this medium to tell Nigerians, members of my family and all
concerned citizens that I’m healthy. I’m a staff of the Department of
State Services and having completed my tour of duty as the chief
security officer to the last President, the service feels that I should
give account of my tenure.
“So
far, there is no adverse situation and I’m optimistic that Nigerians
will be informed in due course about the outcome of this exercise. Once
again, I thank you immensely. I also want to use the opportunity to
thank the DG for the way he has handled me from the time I came in to
the present moment.
“Nigerians
should be assured that the Department of State Service is a very
responsible organization and I believe that nothing adverse will be done
to my person if I have not done anything wrong. I thank you very much,”
he said.
