Trouble started on Saturday June 12th 2021, when the DSS operatives invaded his Mpape hills residence of Uboh on Democracy Day without prior notification or invitation.
It was learnt that they met his absence but purportedly shot sporadically at his doors, ransacked his entire living rooms and offices and carted away valuable documents.
It was gathered that the DSS operatives allegedly arrested some of his workers and took away the DVR so that the evidence of their activities could not be on record; however, a recording of their post-action footage has been made as evidence.
Meanwhile, some Anti-Corruption Crusaders, have condemned in strong terms, the act, describing it as undemocratic perpetrated on a Democracy Day.
They disclosed that they would go to any length to challenge this authoritarian and excessive use of force by the DSS whose function is supposed to be more of intelligence and interrogation on the basis of investigation.
“The victim, George Uboh is a known citizen of Nigeria, a passionate activist cum whistle-blower. For him to be treated like a common criminal by the DSS means that nobody is safe in this dictatorial government”, they posited.
