Bayelsa Group Lauds DSS Raid On Akwa Ibom Govt House. In a statement issued by signed by its National Coordinator, Mike Olomu, said the raid and discovery were part of the legitimate functions of the DSS.

Bayelsa-based socio-political group, the Niger Delta
Leadership Forum, Monday rose in support of the
operatives of the Department of State Security
(DSS) raid of the Akwa Ibom State government
House, which discovered stockpiled foreign currencies.

The group said the response by some politicians and
members of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly
against the search, and claims that it was an act of
Impunity, are unfounded and misplaced.
In a statement issued by signed by its National Coordinator,
Mike Olomu, said the raid and discovery were part of the
legitimate functions of the DSS.
According to the group, "the Akwa Ibom raid and discovery
should not be termed an invasion or acts of impunity. It is a
legitimate function of the DSS. If it is an ordinary man's
house that was searched, it would not have been termed an
invasion. But for politicians from the State to describe such
raid and discovery of such criminal stock pile of hard
currencies as acts of impunity is in itself admittance of
complicity in the crime."
"The PDP should know that the DSS action is in order and
the PDP should stop maligning the Director General of the
DSS, Lawan Daura. Daura is a professional to the core," the
statement also said.
