Right activist lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) has urged the Federal Government to probe allegations of human rights violations, abuse of office and corruption, which marred the tenure of ex-Department of State Services (DSS) Director-General Lawal Daura.
Falana, in a short statement yesterday, said: “I had a running battle with Daura over the illegal detention of many detainees, including Zamfara legislators, two Indian nationals, politicians, student leaders, journalists etc.
“He prevented the Federal Government from complying with the orders of the court to release former National Security Adviser Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd), Ibraheem Elzakzaky and his wife, Zeinab Elzakzaky.
“He housed the fugitive, Abdurasheed Maina. He countermanded the nominations of the President and colluded with fifth columnists to sabotage the democratic process. Allegations of human rights violations, abuse of office and corruption, which marred Daura’s tenure should be fully investigated.”
