The Department of State Services (DSS) has said former corps marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Osita Chidoka, is not in the position to understand the operations of security activities in the face of current insecurity facing the country.

Reacting to Chidoka’s statements when he appeared on a programme on Channels TV, the spokesman of the DSS, Dr. Peter Afunanya, said Chidoka, who was a minister of aviation, does not receive security briefings and therefore, is not in a position to understand the workings of the security agencies.

 

Part of Afunanya’s statement, read; “Chidoka spoke as a politician and my service, the DSS, does not join issues with politicians. Intelligence activities are based on need- to-know; need-to-hold and need-to-access principles. For today, Chidoka is not on any of the platforms to appreciate the workings of intelligence community or the DSS in particular. He has no history of core intelligence practice, competence and experience.”

Speaking further on some of the allegations made by Chidoka such as the lack of interagency collaboration, the DSS not giving enough intelligence to forestall terrorists and bandits attacks among others, Dr Afunanya said: “He exhibited lack of knowledge or complete ignorance in aspects of his analysis, especially as it concerns the DSS. In any case, the Federal Road Safety Corps has arguably continued to enjoy a robust relationship with the DSS based on interagency collaboration.”
