“Those are the realities, which should bother the DSS, not how to harass and intimidate journalists who exhibited courage and candour by alerting the nation about the wrangling, which undermined the nation’s ability to secure itself.”

The group said that the Premium Times reporter, Samuel Ogundipe, might have gone underground after the DSS launched a manhunt for him.

A statement yesterday by Executive Director of CHRICED, Dr. Ibrahim Zikirullahi, said the leaked memo, which was exclusively and extensively reported by Premium Times, also detailed how Kyari had been issuing directives to the service chiefs, as if he was President in his own right. “From the content of the leaked memo, it was also very clear that even in the face of the mindless slaughter of defenseless Nigerians by terrorists, bandits and other violent criminals, President Muhammadu Buhari continues to project weakness by abdicating his responsibility to his Chief of Staff who has been exercising power of the President by proxy rule.
