Abdulrahman, who retired as a senior DSS official, claimed that Daura also betrayed Buhari by serving as a mole for Bukola Saraki, the Senate President. “He will go and get information on plans for (Senate president) Bukola (Saraki) and then leak it to him,” News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, quoted the ex-aide as saying in an interview. The former aide of Daura said he quit the agency in 2016 because of the scale of corruption and abuse there. Daura, who led Nigeria’s domestic spy agency since 2015, was abruptly fired, on Tuesday, by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo after he ordered a blockade of the National Assembly.
