The All Progressives Congress has threatened to institute a legal action against the spokesperson of the Directorate of Security Service, Marilyn Ogar, for allegedly attempting to blame the APC for the series of bomb blasts across the country.
In a statement issued in Ilorin on Saturday by APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said suing Ogar would give her the opportunity to present whatever evidence she may have to prove the party’s complicity in the spate of bombings in the country.
‘’That this incredulous accusation could be made by the spokesperson of a security agency, without providing a scintilla of evidence to support such claim, has confirmed our fears that the nation’s security agencies have now constituted themselves into the enforcement arm of the Peoples Democratic Party.
‘’For the DSS spokesperson to echo the same capricious statement that has been made in the past by the spokesman of the PDP shows that the agency has dropped its toga of non-partisanship and has descended into the political fray. If the DSS has any professional ethics, if DSS is not an arm of the PDP, then the agency must publicly dissociate itself from the irresponsible and unfounded allegation by Ogar and disengage her from the service.
‘’Doing that will be the first step in restoring the credibility, or whatever is left of it, of the DSS. In the alternative, we challenge the DSS to present to Nigerians any evidence it may have linking our party to the spate of bomb blasts in the country. After all, it is trite that he who alleges must prove,’’ APC said.
Oga, if you no go court, then na you be coward pass every person. Your going to court will gives us opportunity to say the truth about our country. Media is not court o
