The Director General of Department of State Services, Lawal Musa Daura, in a rare chat with Al Jazeera TV on Friday, has assured Nigerians of a more resolute and professional Service.
Daura said the Service will attend to valid reports brought before it without prejudice to anybody.
“Whatever comes before us with facts and figures, it will be dealt with equally as required by the law,” Daura said.
Undistracted by the recent campaigns against the Service, the DG of Nigeria’s secret police noted that the DSS will be accountable to the Nigerian citizenry, urging them to raise their expectations while affirming that ongoing investigations and clampdown on corrupt persons and saboteurs of the nation’s interests will be sustained.
In the less than 30 minutes chat with Al Jazeera, Daura, who since assumption of office has clamped down on alleged corrupt individuals and organisations, added: “Nigerians should closely watch and follow what we have started and what we will continue to do.
“I am sure they will not find us wanting.”
The DSS under the new leadership is poised to restore the confidence of citizens in the service, which has an all-encompassing mandate to protect the interest of the Nation, Daura said.
