Senator’s aides conveyed thugs in SUVs to attack #EndSARS protesters – Ex-DSS Asst Director

Dennis Amachree, a former Assistant Director with the Department of State Services, DSS, has spoken on the viral video showing men in suits conveying armed thugs in a black SUV to attack protesters in the Wuse 2 area of the Federal Capital Territory.

The ex-DSS boss speaking on a Channels TV programme, said that the men in suits were not DSS officials but actually aides to a senator.

He said, “I don’t want to follow the style of the army where they said people can buy uniforms and wear them and come out. If you wear a dark suit and tie and drive a black SUV, many people would say that is the DSS but I actually inquired about that.

“I called the headquarters to find out. Those people were working for a particular senator. And if that is the case, I think they should (arrest them). If anybody tries to impersonate security personnel, he should be arrested immediately.

“Don’t allow it to happen and then you go ahead and then do inquiries or panels or whatever. I know a lot of people impersonating SSS, taking letters to different places have been arrested and they have been dealt with immediately. Those people you are referring to were not SSS officials.”

Thugs armed with sticks and other weapons were conveyed in what appeared to be a black government Sports Utility Vehicle after attacking #EndSARS protesters in Wuse II, Abuja on Tuesday.

In a viral video, some of the thugs could be seen jumping into a black Prado driven by a man in a suit on Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent, Wuse II.
