The Department of State Security, DSS, has replied Obiageli Ezekwesili’s accusation of arresting her yesterday at the Abuja Airport that they were only doing what was required of them- their job.
A spokesperson for the department, Marilyn Ogar accused the former minister of arrogance and display ofunnecessary self-importance while they were carrying out their job.
“I don’t know why some people will sometimes arrogate to themselves unnecessary importance when we have serious security challenges in our hands. Government has asked the SSS to be at the airports. Statutorily, SSS clears all passengers travelling out or coming into the country”, Marilyn said.
It will be recalled that the SSS held Ezekwesili for about 30mins by seizing her travelling documents early hours of yesterday morning as she was about jetting out to London.
