Gordon Obua, chief security officer to former President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday, July 20 said “he is still alive”, contrary to the news that hit the social media that he was death.
Obua expressed
his gratitude to the Department of State Security Services (DSS) for treating
him with dignity.
Obua, a serving officer of the DSS addressed
the media inside the conference room of the service headquarters in Abuja.
There had been social media rumours that Obua,
who had been detained since last week died after being tortured.
But the man who looked composed and well kept
sad: " I thanked 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 assumed that DSS is a responsible organization
and I am sure that nothing adverse will happen to me once it is ascertained
that I did nothing wrong", Obua stated.
When pressmen attempted to question him, Obua
clarified "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."
