News reaching us indicates that Marilyn Ogar, a former
spokesperson for the Department of State Security (DSS),
has been shown the exit door.
In a report on the The Cable, Ogar, alongside other top
directors at the DSS, have been compulsorily retired from
the agency effective from yesterday, September 2.
Ogar was told to leave the force yesterday via a retirement
letter dispatched to her and several others by the new
leadership of the agency.
According to a report on Sahara Reporters, Ogar was sent
packing as Musa Daura, new director of the agency decided
he wants to reorganize the agency.
It was gathered that most of the axed officers are close
friends of Ita Ekpeyong, former director general of the
agency.
Ogar came under heavy attacks following her frequent
involvement in political matters as her critics believed her
actions portrayed the agency as a partisan government agency
during the administration of former president Goodluck
Jonathan.
She further portrayed her organization as mere tool for
political propaganda and intimidation, rather than the
professional security outfit it ought to be, with her
unprofessional utterances.
Ogar once linked some unnamed members of the opposition
APC to the Boko Haram insurgency.
In July, Ogar was transferred to Maiduguri, Borno state
and demoted as spokesperson of the agency shortly President
Buhari appointed Daura as the Head of the organization.
