Some amazing revelations have emerged from unofficial quarters within the ranks Nigeria’s secret police, the DSS concerning the former head of the Presidential Amnesty office, Kingsley Kuku.
A top DSS official has disclosed under condition of anonymity that Kuku is being investigated over alleged pipelines sabotage.
But the more shocking part is the disclosure by the DSS topgun that there is evident connivance between an investigative agency and Kuku to conceal looted funds.The official however failed to name the agency.
According to the top official of DSS: “Our concern is that we need to avoid window dressing in the course of our duty. We also need to be painstaking in order not to erode the confidence of the people we claim to serve. It is sad to note that, in the course of our investigation, we discovered that an agency which is also saddled with an investigative authority is rather creating a platform for criminal fugitives. We discovered, in particular, a fugitive who is widely known to have looted our common wealth still has the audacity to use the machinery of that particular agency to harass and hunt adversaries who are aware of his loot and heinous crimes.
“From our findings, we discovered that the agency in reference is now in criminal connivance with fugitive Kingsley Kuku, former Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on the Federal Government Amnesty Programme on the Niger Delta. Sadly enough, the agency in question which claims to be investigating the fraud is ironically directly and brazenly facilitating the concealment of the looted several billions of naira belonging to the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme.
He alleged further “It is rather disturbing that Kingsley Kuku, a fugitive, who is believed to be funding some illegal raids like the one carried out on the residence of former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Chibudom Nwuche, is planning to assume the behind-the-scene leadership of the unified South-South arms struggle to gain relevance in the present government, aimed at avoiding possible searchlight on the atrocities committed during his tenure as Special Adviser for the Amnesty Programme.
“Kuku who is currently on self exile is also one of the sponsors of the Niger Delta Avengers and the large scale sabotage against the oil pipelines across the Niger Delta (2015 – 2017). Yet this particular agency is working hand in gloves with Kuku, shielding him from the wrath of the law but I’m certain this is an issue that will not be swept under the carpet.”
Newsdiaryonline could not reach Kuku in order to get his reaction to the allegations. But a source close to him described the allegations as untrue.He wondered why the DSS would just wake up and cook up things.He asked: Which agency is conniving with him?
The source close to Kuku described him as a patriot who cannot sabotage Nigeria’s economy.He made allusion to the peace that Kuku facilitated as head of the Amnesty programme.
