across the Federation, the Department of State Services (DSS) wishes to
apprise the general public of recent successes recorded.
.ABUJA
Following threat messages against some members of the Diplomatic Corps
in Abuja and Lagos, this Service responded and subsequently apprehended
one Aikhoje MOSES, on 19th August 2016, at Azagha by-pass off the
Benin–Asaba Expressway in Edo State. Before his arrest, MOSES had
threatened the diplomatic community in Nigeria, particularly the
Consular-Generals of Switzerland and Denmark and their Embassies in
Nigeria, warning them to leave the Country.

Similarly, on 8th July, 2016, at Kinkinau area in Unguwar Mu’azu of
Kaduna metropolis, the Service arrested one Mukhtar TIJANI, a notorious
Boko Haram fighter and three (3) of his accomplices namely, Isiaku
SALIHU, Abdullahi ISAH and Hindu ISAH. The four suspects were

on selected targets and locations in Kaduna State.

Also, on 12th August, 2016, at Aliero town in Aliero LGA of Kebbi State,
one Hussaini Alhaji SULE aka YELLOW, was apprehended by the Service.

when one Hafizu SANI, a spy and criminal associate of “Buhari GENERAL”,
was apprehended by this Service. Prior to his arrest, SANI was also
spying on the movements of security agents in Zamfara State. SANI in

following the spate of gruesome killing and kidnap incidents in Benue
State, on 8th August, 2016, the Service arrested one Terfa JIRGBA and
two (2) of his accomplices, namely Terzungee KWAGHAONDO and Mathias
AENDE, at Badagry Street off Esther Aka road in Makurdi, Benue State.

notorious kidnapper who runs a kidnapping and criminal network in Benue
State.
