The Department of State Security (DSS) has freed Mr Gordon Obua, former Chief Security Officer to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan detained since Thursday last week.
SaharaReporters quoted a family source who said that Obuah was released from detention at about 10:30pm last night.
Earlier Tuesday afternoon, Obua was presented to journalists at a hurriedly-organised press conference at DSS headquarters to douse rumours that he had died in detention. After declaring that he was alive and well, “hale and hearty,” Obua thanked his friends, family and lawyers and said he has been well-taken care of by his employers, the DSS, before leaving the press conference.
