Breach of Buhari’s Security: We’re Taking Measures Against Our Personnel – DSS

BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA –The Department of State Services (DSS), has said that following the overzealous but futile attempt by one Mohammed Jammil Guddare to have an unauthorised handshake with the President, it is taking measures against its personnel.

The DSS said that its decision was reached after it carried out a critical review of the video in which the young man (Mohammed Jammil Guddare) in a solo run, dashed towards President Muhammadu Buhari in Kebbi State.

The Service described the incident as “breaching security protocols” but debunked reports that the young man, Jammil Guddare was killed.

The DSS in a statement by its spokesman, Peter Afunaya described Guddare as an overzealous enthusiast of the president.

Afunaya further said; “The Department of State Services wishes to dismiss reports making the rounds that presidential details killed the intruder that tried to break the security cordon to attack the President and Commander-in-Chief, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR at Argungu, Kebbi State on 12th March 2020.

“One Mohammed Jammil Guddare made overzealous but futile attempt to have an unauthorised handshake with the President thus breaching security protocols.

“He was stopped by Security details and arrested for thorough investigation. Preliminary investigation reveals that he is not a hostile person but an overzealous enthusiast of the President.

“The service has reviewed the video of the incident and is taking measures against its personnel found to have been negligent in their duties.”
