The Department
of State Services (DSS) says a Federal Government agency is protecting former
Special Adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Niger Delta Affairs,
Kingsley Kuku, who is wanted for allegedly sponsoring Niger Delta militants.
Top sources
within the DSS said Kuku, who had been in the United States since 2015, was
being aided by the Federal Government agency to escape justice.
According to
DSS, the agency aiding Kuku claims to be probing him but is doing the opposite.
Although the
DSS did not name the agency, it had been reported that the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission had been probing the former presidential aide for
sometime.
DSS said, “It
is sad to note that, in the course of our investigation, we discovered that an
agency, which is also saddled with an investigative authority, is rather
creating a platform for criminal fugitives.
“We
discovered, in particular, a fugitive, who is widely known to have looted our
commonwealth, still has the audacity to use the machinery of that particular
agency to harass and haunt adversaries who are aware of his loot and heinous
crimes.
“From our
findings, we discovered that the agency in reference is now in criminal
connivance with fugitive Kingsley Kuku, a former Special Adviser to President
Goodluck Jonathan on the Federal Government Amnesty Programme on the Niger
Delta.
“Sadly enough,
the agency in question, which claims to be investigating the fraud, is
ironically directly and brazenly facilitating the concealment of the looted
several billions of naira belonging to the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme.”
DSS said the
government agency, which recently raided the home of a former Deputy Speaker of
the House of Reps, Chibudom Nwuche, carried out the raid based on the
instruction of Kuku.
