The youth wing of the Southern Kaduna People’s Union (SOKAPU) has urged the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Archdiocese, Bishop Mathew Hassan Kuka to ignore invitation by the Nigerian Department of State Services (DSS).
This was contained in a statement signed by the national youth leader of the union, Comrade John Isaac and made available to the media in Kaduna yesterday.
The statement is titled; “The DSS and the continues clampdown on dissenting voices”.
The SOKAPU called for a total overhauling of the service and urged Bishop Kuka, who hailed from Southern part of the State, to shun the invitation by DSS for obvious reasons of threat to life and his personal safety.
“We are urging the DSS to focus on the ravaging impact of insecurity, kidnapping and banditry across the country rather than distracting the Bishop who is only pointing the obvious about the decaying state of the country’s security architecture.”
The youth wing stated that it has continued to “observed with dismay the operations of the Nigerian DSS in recent times and the circumstances surrounding the mysterious deaths of persons whom had, at one time or the other accepted, it’s invitations, particularly persons considered to be critical of the nepotistic and clandestine leadership style of the Buhari administration.
