DSS Releases Mustapha Marwana, Compensates N3 Million
The Department of State Services (DSS) released Mustapha Marwana, a carpenter from Katsina, after investigations cleared him of allegations linking him to terrorist activities. The release was ordered by the DSS Director-General, Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi, following a thorough review by an investigation panel.
Marwana was arrested in connection with the abduction and killing of school pupils and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State. The investigation found no evidence linking him to the Ansaru terrorist group or any operational activities.
Consequently, the DSS ordered his immediate release and approved a compensation of N3 million to assist him in restarting his life. Mustapha expressed gratitude to the DG for the humane intervention, while his lawyer, Oghene Forgive, also thanked the DG for establishing Marwana's innocence.
This compensation is part of measures by the current DSS leadership to support individuals cleared after investigations and facilitate their reintegration into society.
