Jonathan's CSO Dispels Rumour of His Death, Says He's Hale and Hearty

The former Chief Security Officer (CSO) to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr. Gordon Obua, yesterday told Nigerians and the world at large that he was hale and hearty and was being treated with dignity by officials of the Department of State Security (DSS).


Obua, a serving officer of the DSS, addressed the media inside the conference room of the service's headquarters in Abuja.


The rumour mill was agog yesterday that Obua, who has been in detention since last week, had died after being tortured by DSS operatives.


But the man, who looked composed and well kept, said: "I thank Nigerians and members of my family who have expressed very serious concern about my well being in the last six days.


"I want to use this medium to tell Nigerians and members of my family that I am hale and hearty. As a serving officer of DSS and having completed my duty tour with the last president, the service felt that I should give a briefing of my stewardship.


"Nigerians should be assured that DSS is a responsible organisation and I am sure that nothing adverse will happen to me once it is ascertained that I did nothing wrong."


When reporters attempted to question him, Obua stated: "I am a serving staff of DSS and I have limitations regarding speaking with the press. I thank the Director General of DSS for the way that I have been treated so far."
