The publisher of 234sportsng.com, Mr. Olukayode Abimbola Thomas has revealed that he got a call at about 16.49 hours on Friday, September 9, 2022, from a man with telephone number 07063249244 who claimed to be an operative of DSS ordering him to report at the DSS Office in Ilorin, Kwara State on Monday without giving any reason.

The self-claimed operative did not state whether Thomas is a security risk or why he need to report at Ilorin even though he lives and works in Lagos.

A shocked and surprised Thomas said he told the man who claimed to be a DSS Operative that he is probably not a DSS Operative as he expected a genuine Officer to act with better finesse.

But the man claiming to be an Operative insisted that Thomas must be in Ilorin on Monday by whatever means.

Thomas said he told the man on the phone that in these days of insecurity, anybody can claim to be a DSS Operative and lure unsuspecting Nigerians to be kidnapped or for any other reason.

The journalist also told the man on the phone that the proper way would way have been for the DSS to send a letter inviting him to Ilorin at a date to be agreed between the two parties and that will give Thomas proper time to brief his lawyer.

But the man on the phone kept insisting that all he wanted was for his order to be obeyed and that Thomas must be in Ilorin by Monday.
When Thomas explained that what was happening was akin to a threat to his life by an impersonator claiming to be DSS Operative on phone and that he will alert the public through the media about a threat to his security and that of his family, the man told Thomas to go ahead and write what transpired between them in the media.

After the conversation, Truecaller revealed his identity to be one Janguza Salisu Hamisu.
Reporters familiar with the operation of DSS revealed that the agency will not summon anybody without a proper letter of invitation.

“They will inform you through the phone and follow up with a letter to your physical address and if you are outside their base, in this case, Kwara State, they will contact you through the Director of the State you reside with a letter to your physical address, not just a phone call, “a journalist said on condition of anonymity.

Thomas said he is using media to alert Nigerians that if anything happens to him and his family a man who claimed to be a DSS Operative with telephone number 07063249244 whose identity was revealed by Truecaller as Janguza Salisu Hamisu should be held responsible.

Nigeria Premier independent football academy, Fosla Academy was on Tuesday, June 1st, 2021 attacked in Karu, a satellite town in the federal capital territory, FCT, Abuja.

The attack occurred at the Government Day Secondary School, Karu venue of the zonal playoff of the 2nd edition of Maltina School Athletic Games with three students of the academy injured.

The attack was carried out by two unidentified students who are from the host school, GDSS and as well as Junior Secondary School, JSS Karu.

The two students who were obviously angry over Fosla Academy’s feats after they won four events at the zonal qualifiers, attacked the academy bus, injured three students and damaged the bus’ glasses.

The presence of the proprietor of the Academy and former President of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF; Alhaji Sani Lulu Abdulahi was not regarded by the unscrupulous hoodlums who evaded arrest and disappeared from the premises when the police arrived.

The police promised to track down the pepetrators of the attack and bring them to book.

The three players who where injured sustained various degrees of injuries including Aisha Mohammed who was hit on the head by a stone thrown by the two misguided students.

Sumeya Usman sustained injuries on the left knee from broken glasses while Faruk Umar was injured on the back after a heavy stone throne by the miscreants hit him and he fell on the ground.

This is the first time Folsa Academy, headquartered in Karish, few kilometers away from Karu, is being attacked since inception in 2011.

It is hoped that the Nigeria Police will be professional to fish out the pepertrators of this heinous act and bring them to justice.

Fosla Academy is established to help indigent but talented Nigerians to discover and nurture their football talents at the same time focusing on their education.

Seventy-five per cent of the over 150 students in the academy are on scholarships, courtesy of Alhaji Sani Lulu Abdulahi.

With the recent happening on Insecurity in the country, Abraham Jacob a concerned students’ leader has appealed to bandits in the country to leave students alone as their victims and redirect their targets to politicians who are the main reasons why the multiple resources in the country are not evenly distributed therefore leaving innocent hardworking employable men, women and youths to indulge in acts that basically threatens the existence of law and orderliness in the country.

Abraham said that students can not meet the demands of these bandits with the popular identity of “Unknown Gunmen”, hence students in their innocence should not be mapped out as their targets for kidnapping and banditry.

“It is so unfair that these kidnappers in the guise of unknown gunmen are making life so unbearable for the average Nigerian students in their respective citadel of learning”.

This to say the least is absolutely unfair to the students community.

We do not know the reasons for all of these high increase in insecurity in the country but the average Nigerian is not unaware that all of these boils down to political score counts from corrupt politicians. Students should not be used as the sacrificial lamb in all of these.

“Bandits should therefore go after Politicians for they are the sole solution providers to the problems bedeviling our country”.

Comr. Abraham who pointed at the sad incident of kidnapping of an undisclosed numbers of students of Greenfield University and the subsequent killings of over five of them by their kidnappers who according to the news made available to the public are demanding for a ransom of over 800 Million Naira, the kidnapping of Students of Forestry College Kaduna despite the institution’s compound closeness to a military academy, noted that Armed groups have repeatedly struck northern Nigerian schools and universities since December 2020, abducting more than 700 students for ransom.

This he described as a threat to our freedom to life and Education in the country, stating that instead of going after innocent students in their respective educational Institutes, bandits should concentrate more on corrupt politicians for they are the reasons why the center no longer holds for Nigerians in Nigeria.

“Corrupt politicians are the ones hoarding our country’s resources alone to themselves and their families, should you go after them, we can be sure that they will no longer amass the lean resources of the country. Please leave students and the poor masses alone”.

Abraham Jacob writes from Lokoja, Kogi State.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed concern over the spate of security breaches in the country, saying it was working to identify and bring to book perpetrators and sponsors of banditry, kidnappings, rustlers, terrorists and attackers on security formations in some states of the country.

Its  National Secretary, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Senator John Akpanudoedehe, in a statement, yesterday, called on Nigerians to unite against insecurity and criminality for the development of the country. He assured that the President Buhari government will continue and strategically deploy all state resources in achieving public safety.

Said Akpanudoedehe: “The issue of insecurity in the country has found expression in terrorist and criminal activities of Boko Haram, bandits, kidnappers, rustlers and recently the highly condemnable attacks on security formations in some states. These are current realities and the APC will not play politics with matters of life and our collective wellbeing as a nation.

“As a progressive party in government, we are fully-focussed on identifying and bringing to book perpetrators and sponsors of this hydra-headed insecurity monster and consolidating on our visible development strides. While the party sympathises with all affected by the security incidents, we call on all to unite against insecurity and criminality, however expressed.

“Again, we must not fall for the plot of sectarian opportunists and unpatriotic partisans who have swarmed the public space with divisive rhetoric in furtherance of their selfish plot to exploit the security situation for hideous gains. It is dangerous to national security and we should not let them succeed. The President Muhammadu Buhari administration is criminalising crime, not ethnicity. The president’s charge to the newly-appointed service chiefs was clear: ‘We are in a state of emergency. Be patriotic, serve the country well, as your loyalty is to the country.’  We must shun the antics and activities of unpatriotic and sectarian opportunists fanning divisive embers, promote peaceful coexistence, eschew bitterness and unite against insecurity and crime, for the development of the country.

The party also condemned the attack on the country home of Imo Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma,  described it as an attack on democracy.

It equally condemned the attacks on police personnel and formations in Abia, Imo, Ebonyi, Anambra and Rivers states.

It commiserated with the police and families of victims of the attack. It also sympathised with Governor Uzodimma and all affected in the attack.

“We have since learnt that there were fatalities with others injured and maimed during the attack.  The party and indeed our security services will definitely not watch helplessly as some persons and interests attempt to turn Imo into a killing field.”
