Aproko247 has been exclusively informed by a security source in Abuja that the former Chief Security Officer, CSO, to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, Gordon Obuah, is not dead as being widely speculated in a section of the Nigerian media.
The source informed our correspondent that what actually happened was that Obuah fainted after he embarked on hunger strike to protest his continued detention by the Department of State Security, DSS.
“Obuah is not dead. He only fainted and was rushed to the hospital for medical attention. He is very okay now,” the source, who begged not to be named, told Aproko247.
This magazine further learnt that after Obuah was discharged from the hospital on Monday, he was returned to the DSS custody, where he is currently still being held.
His lawyer and family have described his detention as illegal and have called for his release because of his ‘failing health’.
As at the time of filing in this report, Aproko247 could not confirm from our source if Obuah has been allowed to have access to his family, doctor and lawyer.
