Nigeria - According to a report from Sahara Reporters, Senate President Bukola Saraki's DSS detail masterminded the robbery of N310m from a Bureau de Change operator.
Excerpt:
Four days after SaharaReporters revealed that agents of the Department of State Security (DSS) assigned to Senate President Bukola Saraki had stolen N310 million from funds an operator of a bureau de change was transporting to the senator, a DSS source has told our correspondent that the heist was led by Abdulrasheed Hamidu Maigari and George Mwatapwa Ibbi, two top members of the senator’s security detail. Mr. Hamidu became part of the senator’s security detail shortly after Mr. Saraki was elected President of the senate.
The high-profile robbery took place on November 20, 2015, but both the DSS and Mr. Saraki worked in tandem to conceal the identity of the robbery suspects in order to spare the embattled senator from further public embarrassment. After SaharaReporters broke the news, Mr. Saraki’s media team quickly reached major newspapers and bloggers in Nigeria to ensure that the senator’s involvement in the scandal was concealed.
