Just In: EFCC drills DSS finance director for alleged fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is reportedly interrogating the finance director of the Department of State Service (DSS), Kunle Kadri, for alleged fraud and mismanagement of public fund.

A source from the EFCC told Premium Times that Kadri is being interrogated by the anti-graft agency for alleged fraud linked to the former director general of the DSS, Lawal Daura.

Daura was sacked from office in 2018 after a controversial event when officials of the DSS invaded the National Assembly.

Operatives of the EFCC reportedly claimed that they believe Kadri will help provide information around the controversy surrounding the N10.2 billion supplementary budget that the SSS received, in part, for its elections operations.

The source reportedly said that since Kadri has worked with the past three directors-general of the DSS, he is in a better position to help the EFCC with their investigations.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that the DSS asked the public to desist from engaging its sacked director general, Lawal Daura, on its behalf.

The warning was contained in a statement on Tuesday, February 19, by the spokesperson for DSS, Peter Afunanya.

The DSS said it had been receiving reports that Daura still wields influence in its internal affairs, despite the fact that he had been fired for months.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
