The Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Department of State Services (DSS) to apologise for the raid carried out at the Government House, Uyo or face litigation.



The Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Anikan Okon, told a news conference in Abuja that the state government would sue the DSS if it failed to apologise for the operation carried out at the governor’s official residence in the state capital.

Speaker Okon urged President Muhammadu Buhari and the National Assembly to launch an investigation into the action of the DSS, which it described as a violation of the constitution and an act of impunity.

“We also invite President Muhammadu Buhari and the leadership of the National Assembly to launch proper investigation into the ridiculous action of the SSS. We are shocked that the SSS which is currently purging officers it claimed to have shown unconcealed partisanship should descend so low to the extent of staging a coup d’état on our governor, simply because he belongs to an opposition party.

“Despite the fact that the president, his deputy as well as state governors enjoy constitutional immunity, the Akwa Ibom state Governor Udom Emmanuel has been singled out and stripped of this right, which is provided for him under the law.

“We are firm in the belief that if the raid on the Hilltop Mansion was not an act of felony, persecution and political vendetta, the DSS would have declared their mission before unleashing terror on innocent workers of Akwa Ibom State Government and or openly declare to the authorities in the state what they found and what they took away from our Government House”, he said.

The lawmaker maintained that the raid contravenes Section 308 (1, 2, 3) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).

The lawmakers also denied media reports indicating that the secret service operatives had uncovered stockpile of arms and ammunition as well as money in foreign currency.

ok

PDP is learning the denial game so fast. Why did the governor denie it earlier.

Maybe lie Mohamed called him after the incident.

I agree with the poster below me, these guys should be called to order

DSS and Mr Lawal Daura should be called to order...We are no longer in the Military era.
The Immunity that covers Buhari, is the same that covers Udom.


The dictator Buhari is biting more than he can chew.

tell me how this will end,

Hoe-kay

Daura Secret Service...

okay

DSS working for apc since time immemorial.
Proudly Wailer.

Those we look upon, now look upon us........ The hunter is been hunted

Yes

They shouldn't just bark....they should bite

I am patiently waiting for Buhari to send that stupid Daura's name to the Senate for confirmation!! He would be torn to shreds

the impossible can be possible......... Only in Nai jiriya

Indeed the true character of a man show when he is given power

Who gave the instruction for the DSS to raid a government house of a State ?

Welcome to 1985. But let it be known, that the people of the States, will not allow the slowpoke Federal Government, headed by a nomad to continually encroach on the rights of the people of the States.

We have the rights to seek Secession if we are continually ridiculed. Akwa Ibom State is rich enough to be a country. In fact, that wonderful state provides 60% of the Oil and Gas used in powering this parasitic geographical expression.

Be warned. Next time the DSS attempts that nonsense, they will feel the collective will of the Biafran Allies.

Again, Be warned, Mr. Daura Nomad.

But the governor denied it himself now. So what are they suing for. PDP politicians lie so much to the extent that they will forget a lie they issued minutes ago and then issue another subsequent statement which overtly contradicts the previous one.

I think the wailing wailers should just stop crying wolf. Obviously these people crying must be Akpabio's house boys and errand boys he nominated into the House of Assembly. Where were this people when the same DSS went to APC office to raid the place? Where were these errand boys when the Nigeria Army was rigging election for PDP? The DSS is doing its legitimate work, the wailing wailers should just stop crying for once!
Face the reality for once, PDP is no longer in power, try and live as opposition!

Ok

Then, they use their times to say the governor deny the coup... .useless party, useless govt.... They will only take us backwards like the North where they came from but we will survive..

DSS as no right to invade the government house. Can DSS invade Aso villa anyhow, anytime in the name of searching for bombs?

banana regime.

on what basis? they got security report that there are arms at the state house,they went in and found arms,so?bunch of jokers

Am very sorry to those who believe in the scam change because their disappointment might be devastating

dem this wan dey craze?!....so long DSS is not corrupt,they are untouchable.......corrupt lawmakers....

lol

I am really fadeup with this kind of government we have this days. I don't even know what to believe again or even blog about as a blogger. The other day a well known news paper published how DSS carried out a raid in Akwa Ibom Government house and another news paper published that Akwa Ibom deny that such situation did not occur.

Even before that DSS stated that they recovered host of arms in the government house Akwa Ibom only for the next day, the changed the statement and said they only recovered piles of dollars. Hmmmmm nawaoooo, which way naija?
