I am alive, says Jonathan’s CSO

Chief Security Officer (CSO) to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr Gordon Obuah, has debunked reports of his death.
Addressing newsmen on Tuesday at the Department of State Service (DSS) headquarters in Abuja, Obuah said he was alive and being treated with dignity by his employers, the Department of State Security (DSS).
“This morning, my attention was drawn to reports that I had died in detention and this has caused serious anxiety within the country.
“I want to use this medium to thank Nigerians and members of my family who have expressed serious concern about my well being in the last six days. I want to use this medium to tell Nigerians and members of my family that I am hale and hearty.
“As a serving officer of the DSS and having completed my tour of duty as Chief Security Officer to the last President, the service feels that I should give account of my tenure.
“Nigerians should be assured that DSS is a very responsible organisation and I am sure that nothing adverse will happen to me once it is ascertained that I did nothing wrong,”he said.
Obua, who spoke for about three minutes, declined to take questions from newsmen.
Some media outfits had reported that the former CSO had died from diabetes and hypertension.
