(23. November) The Conference of Nigerian Political Parties, CNPP, has called for the sack of the Inspector General of Police, Suleman Abba, and the Director General of the State Security Service, SSS, Ekpeyong Ita, for allegedly manipulating their organisations for personal gains rather than protecting Nigeria’s democracy.

The group, in a statement by its spokesperson, Osita Okechukwu, on Sunday, said the last week’s attempt to prevent the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, and other lawmakers from accessing the National Assembly complex and the ransacking of the All Progressives Congress, APC, data centre in Lagos, were indications that the security agencies could endanger the survival of democracy in the country.
