DSS Arraigns Five Over Concealment Of Ex Governor
The Department of State Services has brought five Nigerians before the Federal High Court in Abuja over allegations that they concealed the whereabouts of former Bayelsa State Governor Timipre Sylva.
The DSS linked the case to its investigation into an alleged coup plot against President Bola Tinubu.
The defendants were identified as Reuben Ayuba, Musa Mohammed, Friday Paul, Paganengigha Anagaha and Ayebaifife Suobite.
The security agency charged them with conspiracy and with allegedly hiding the location of a person it described as a fugitive.
The charges form part of an ongoing investigation by the DSS. The allegations against all those mentioned are yet to be determined by the court, and no verdict has been delivered.
The Federal High Court is expected to continue hearing the matter as the legal process moves forward. The outcome will depend on the evidence presented before the court.
