AFTERMATH OF DAURA’S SACK: Pressure mounts on Buhari to fire NSA Monguno, Magu
Loyalists of the immediate past Director-General of the Department of State Security Service (DSS), Mr. Lawal Daura have launched a move to make the National Security Adviser (NSA), Gen. Babagana Monguno and the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu pay for his sack.
The loyalists, including some members of the President’s kitchen cabinet and kinsmen, are understood to be putting pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari to fire Monguno and Magu.
They have already made a representation to the President on why the duo must go, The Nation gathered authoritatively yesterday.
On the side of the Daura loyalists is a South West governor.
In their view, the sacked DSS boss was a “victim of a palace coup” who was sacrificed for the survival of the NSA, Magu, and a few other security chiefs.
