Blockade of National Assembly: IYC hails sack of DSS boss, calls for detailed investigation

The leadership of the pan Ijaw group, Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) worldwide has commended the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbanjo for reacting promptly and sacking the former Director General of the Directorate of State Security Services (DSS), Mr. Lawal Duara, for the illegal invasion and blockade of the national assembly.

The group noted that Osinbanjo deserved commendation for his prompt reaction which we believe will restore sanity in the activities of security agencies in Nigeria, adding that actions of Nigeria security agencies in recent time have attracted odium to Nigeria in the international community.

The President, Ijaw Youth Congress (IYC), worldwide, Barr, Eric Omare, stated that it is not enough for the federal government to sack the DSS boss, but an independent and thorough investigation should be carried out to unravel all those that were involved and bring them to justice.
