Former Department of State Services (DSS)
Director-General Lawal Daura, who has been in custody since August 7 when he was
sacked, has been allowed access to his two wives and some associates, The Nation learnt yesterday.
Daura got the push after DSS operatives blocked
the National Assembly, on his directive. But the former security chief,
according to one of his associates who visited him, insists that he acted in
the national interest.
He also said the decision to deploy operatives
in the National Assembly on July 24 was in conjunction with other security
agencies.
Daura is being held in a safe house in Abuja,
awaiting the Presidency’s decision on the report of the Inspector-General of
Police Ibrahim Idris who investigated his action.
It was learnt that President Muhammadu Buhari
referred the IGP’s report to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for his input.
Some associates of the ex-DSS chief are
pushing for Daura’s reinstatement or the removal of National Security Adviser
Babagana Monguno and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Acting
Chairman Ibrahim Magu.
