Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has praised the Director General of the Department of State Secret Service (DSS), Yusuf Magaji Bichi, over his role in protecting Nigeria’s democracy, especially during the administration of former President, Muhammadu Buhari.
Fani-Kayode noted this while responding to a social media post, criticising the DSS boss over the recent operation of the state security agency, and described the secret police boss as “a hard-working, decent and dedicated servant of the Nigerian state.”
Fani-Kayode added that terrorist groups, Boko Haram and ISWAP would have taken Abuja years ago, with mutinous soldiers bringing an end to democracy had it not been for Bichi and the DSS.
He said that Bichi, in collaboration with the leadership of the other intelligence agencies and the military, exposed and thwarted many coup attempts and ensured that the terrorists were repelled and contained.
He wrote, “The allegations that were made by @jacksonpbnagainst the DG @OfficialDSSNG, Yusuf Magaji Bichi, are FALSE.”
“I challenge him to come to Nigeria and go to the courts to prove all he has said against a hard-working & decent man and a dedicated servant of the Nigerian state.
“If he chooses to come, once on Nigerian soil, I will personally guarantee his safety.
“Permit me to add the following. Had it not been for Bichi and his DSS, Boko Haram and ISWAP would have taken Abuja years ago and democracy may well have been brought to an end by mutinous soldiers during the tenure of
@MBuhari.
“He, in collaboration with the leadership of the other intelligence agencies and the military of those days, exposed and thwarted many coup attempts and ensured that the Islamist terrorists were repelled and contained.
“For this, his laudable efforts in the fight against corruption and so much more we should commend him rather than vilify him.
