The Department of State Service (DSS) has allocated the
house of former Director General of DSS, Col. Kayode Are (rtd.), which was
forcefully taken from him. The house has been reportedly allocated to Director
General of NPA, Hadiza Usman.
The residence in question, No 50 Alezander, Ikoyi, was
officially given to Are when he was DSS Director, but was asked to vacate the
premises despite an injunction by the court ordering the Federal Government to
stay action.
Are is a retired Nigerian Army Colonel, served as an officer
in the Directorate of Military Intelligence up until retirement by General Sani
Abacha.
Are was appointed as DSS boss by President Olusegun
Obasanjo. He served in that position throughout President Obasanjo’s two terms
(1999-2007), and was replaced by Afakiriya Gadzama, who was appointed in August
2007 by President Umaru Yar’Adua.
