PRESIDENT BUHARI AND THE SSS By Sharon Faliya Cham

Clearly all the newspapers of Friday, June 26, 2015 carried a very trending story that President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered that the State Security Service (SSS) be kept far from protecting him, and not only that, they were also ordered to keep their distance from his office, his residence and all other strategic parts of the Presidential Villa. It was reported that the SSS could only be at the first gate of the villa but certainly not anywhere near the President. In their place will be a special highly trained protective unit of the Nigerian Army Intelligence Corps (NAIC).

This is very commendable just as much as it was an excellent decision taken by our amiable President for his immediate safety, for the SSS has been badly transformed by the Transformation Agenda we just got rescued from so much that I have often wondered whether the SSS is the same old SSS we knew to be highly patriotic, responsive and non-partisan. The SSS, particularly under President Jonathan, became so compromised and partisan so much that they turned themselves into a security risk to the peace and corporate stability of our dear country. The SSS that was hitherto known to be quiet and effective became very noisy and deliberately ineffective apart from its open partisanship on national issues, and all these they did without reckoning that there is a future and the cards could be stacked against them.

Since President Jonathan recruited Mr. Ita Ekpeyong, the current head of the SSS, in 2010, Boko Haram turned into "Boko Haram" and bombings miraculously transferred themselves from their traditional base of the Niger Delta where both Jonathan and Ekpeyong hail from to Abuja and other key northern cities, and the same SSS that was used by late President Yar'adua to assist the Nigerian Army with intelligence to crush Boko Haram in 2009 became curiously and mysteriously unavailable when "Boko Haram" became a monster that was only active in destroying a particular part of the country, and not once have we ever heard the Jonathan regime querying Ekpeyong and his SSS on how "Boko Haram" managed to secure heavy battle weapons that could have been only brought into Nigeria by sea and moved up north by road, and neither have we heard any explanation on so many other related matters that have been consistently raised on this page. Nigeria became severely insecure during the term of the current leadership of the SSS so much that one wonders whether it is State Security Service we have or State Screwing Service!

And because "Boko Haram" was raised on the ashes of Boko Haram primarily to weaken and destroy a part of the country and to blackmail key politicians of that part of the country as its sponsors, it was reported recently by a national newspaper that this highly compromised, corrupt and ineffective SSS under the unfortunate leadership of Mr. Ita Ekpeyong was known to have written a fictitious Security Report purportedly claiming to link General Buhari with their fraudulent terrorist organisation, which they were quietly using to tarnish his reputation in Jonathan's favourite circles of support, and when I say Jonathan's favourite circles of support you should clearly understand what I mean. Ethno-religious bigotry circles. The newspaper reported that this information was well revealed to General Buhari even at that time, and the desperation got to a head when this same "Boko Haram" attempted to blow him off into pieces with their usual car bombs which the SSS have never ever told Nigerians who owned any of the cars since this bloody racket started in 2011. However, it is still fresh in my head that Asari Dokubo was so angry Buhari did not die in that attempt on his life by "Boko Haram" so much that he angrily called a press conference to vent his anger and frustration.

It is also still fresh how the SSS actively worked against the Card Reader Machines that helped significantly in throwing out the evil and useless regime of Jonathan, and it is also fresh how this same compromised SSS frequently attacked the offices of the APC and even used their loud mouthed Marylin Orgar to lie against the party that the party was cloning Permanent Voter Cards and that the party also wanted to hack into the database of INEC. Up till now the SSS has not bothered to apologise to the APC through their garrulous Marylin Orgar even after the INEC boss, Professor Attahiru Jega, exposed their lie that their database cannot be hacked because it is not online. And another fact that further exposes this SSS as a gang of liars is the fact that they stridently worked against the use of Card Readers for the 2015 elections, and you are left wondering if they (SSS) have accused the APC of cloning PVCs, then why did they work against the use of Card Reader Machines that will easily detect and reject fake PVCs purportedly produced by the APC? We all know that all the persons and groups that campaigned against the use of Card Readers were persons and groups at the beck and call of that corrupt and lacklustre President who all knew that if the elections were to be free and fair he was going to lose, and that's exactly what happened! He lost! Oh thank God!

Now you will naturally think that after Jonathan has left with his baggage of mischief the SSS under Ita Ekpeyong will become sober and patriotic, but it seems they were still bent on achieving an agenda that is not nationalistic nor patriotic. Just last week, a report went viral that this same Ekpeyong hired some Israeli security experts to plant hidden spying cameras all across the Presidential Villa, including the President's office and his bedrooms. It seems Mr. Ekpeyong wanted to be recording everything President Buhari would be doing or saying or writing, including even in his bedroom, which only means Mr. Ekpeyong works for a subversive group that wants to blackmail the President and then subvert the Nigerian State, which is as treasonable as terrorism! It was reported that it took the efforts of President Buhari's very intelligent Chief Security Officer to detect the scheme and the gadgets, and that was why the President was advised against moving into the villa until all the spying gadgets were removed, and that was done under the cover of renovation, and some readers will also recall the news last week that about 255 SSS operatives were sent to the villa by Mr. Ekpeyong but were ordered back out of the villa shortly before the President relocated from the Defence House to the villa!

Well, like I said earlier, this is a good start by the President, and he should go further by completely reorganising the SSS after he must have sacked Mr. Ekpeyong and other compromised heads of the various units of the SSS. Particularly, President Buhari should consider retrenching all the SSS operatives recruited from the year 2010 to early 2015, for I have the suspicion that a lot of "militants" have been clandestinely recruited into this important organ of national security to achieve a certain clandestine agenda against the Nigerian state. Think of the 5, 000 gangsters holding sophisticated guns and wearing DSS jackets dispatched to Osun state in August 2014 to help the PDP rig an election, which, fortunately, failed!

The SSS we have always known will never ever drive into town like gangsters shooting guns into the air, for they were known to operate quietly and smartly, usually anonymously. That action in Osun state must have been by some Niger Delta terrorists wearing DSS jackets under the supervision of Jonathan's gangster government!

It is time for our old SSS to come back!

President Buhari, over to you!
