SSS QUIZZES AMAECHI’S CSO OVER SECURITY BREACH
The chief security officer, CSO, of the Rivers State governor, Rotimi
Amaechi, is now being quizzed for allegedly allowing the governor to
visit the Rivers State Assembly while the legislators were embroiled in
violent fisticuffs. LEADERSHIP also learnt the State Security
Service, SSS, has invited him to explain why he should not be punished for exposing the governor to danger.
Amaechi reportedly visited the State Assembly in the heat of the fracas
that erupted there on Tuesday: some of the legislators used dangerous
weapons to attack their colleagues.
A competent source close to the
SSS told LEADERSHIP FRIDAY that the CSO acted unprofessionally by not
dissuading the governor from going to the state Assembly at a time his
life could not be guaranteed.
The
source disclosed that the SSS was considering recalling and reprimanding
him for negligence. According to him, part of the duty of the CSO of a
governor is to advise him on appropriate security measures to adopt
during any pandemonium.
Efforts to get confirmation from the SSS
failed as spokesman Ms Marilyn Ogar’s phone could not be reached. A
senior officer who however pleaded anonymity disclosed that the Service
was planning a serious reprimand for the CSO, saying that his action
embarrassed the Service and the nation.
