SSS DG Snubs Oduah

The Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, has made unsuccessful attempts to hold a meeting with the Director-General of the State Security Service, Mr. Ekpenyong Ita, in Abuja.

The minister went to the SSS headquarters on Friday to discuss the eviction of SSS operatives from the nation’s six international airports. It was gathered that Ita was engaged in some critical functions and referred the minister to the officer in-charge of the Directorate of Airport Operations. The meeting between Oduah and the SSS leadership could not hold as the minister was said to have left the Maitama headquarters of the SSS without seeing the official.

Oduah had embarked on a sudden restructuring of the nation’s international airports in which she removed the desks of the SSS operatives and barred them from participating in security screenings and checks at the airports.
