The Director General of the State Security Services, Lawal Daura has said that he advised the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, to meet with Abdulrasheed Maina abroad<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mr. Daura, while giving his submission on Thursday to the House of Representatives ad-hoc committee investigating Mr. Maina\u2019s controversial reinstatement and promotion in the civil service, however said he advised him to do so in presence of a third party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe attorney general of the federation sometime in 2016 or 2015 (can\u2019t remember the exact day) because it was not through a formal document, placed a call to me when he was outside the country and requested me on a request he got through a source that Maina wanted to meet him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wanted me to advise him whether to agree to see Maina or not in that foreign country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI responded to the attorney general that he should accept to see Maina but he should not see him alone\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe should see him with a third party,\u201d Mr. Daura said.<\/p>\n

The security chief said the attorney general complied and met Mr. Maina in the presence of a third party.<\/p>\n

On the accusation of the SSS shielding Mr. Maina, Mr. Daura said Mr. Maina had approached the service with a letter alleging threat to his life and therefore requested for protection.<\/p>\n

\n
He said \u201cthe letter was scrutinised and fears expressed by Maina were also to a large extent established\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He said the service decided to look into the matter so as to protect Mr. Maina.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of the right to life which is guaranteed by our constitution universally recognized, Maina\u2019s case was directed to be looked into so as not to allow his life to be in jeopardy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Daura said no agency, including the EFCC, wrote the SSS seeking to arrest Mr. Maina.<\/p>\n

He added that the service has nothing to do with the reinstatement of Mr. Maina and his subsequent promotion.<\/p>\n
