Members of the Akwa Ibom
State House of Assembly, have challenged
the Department of State Services, DSS, to
publish what they found in the state
Governor’s Lodge in Uyo within seven
days or be ready for court action.
The lawmakers also warned the DSS to
publicly apologise to the people of the
state for their invasion of the
Government House in brazen violation of
the rights of the governor, or face
prosecution.
The 26 members of the House in a
statement by the Speaker, Mr. Aniekan
Uko, condemned in strong terms the
action of the DSS agents, who acted in
breach of all known laws of the land.
The lawmakers alleged that during the
raid, the DSS agents drawn from Abuja
and Uyo, broke into rooms and guest
houses within the Government House,
which is one of the strongest symbols of
our confederacy and in the process
damaged valuables belonging to the
Government and people of Akwa Ibom
State.
They wondered what DSS officials wanted
to achieve by invading the Governor’s
Lodge, who has immunity under Section
308 (1, 2, 3) of the 1999 Constitution of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as
amended).
They said: “It is important to point out
that immunity from prosecution and
persecution is a well-founded, well-
reasoned concept, which has sundry
benefits when applied honestly and
carefully for the greater good of society.
It thus means that a sitting state
Governor or President of Nigeria, during
the subsistence of term of office, must
have a free hand to act boldly and
courageously for public good.”
“In doing so, such a Governor or President
would not be hindered by fear for self, for
repercussion of actions embarked upon,
for general public interest of a state or for
clearly defined national interests.”
