Abdulrahman Dambazau having his shoe cleaned by the DSS operative
The Interior Minister has been spotted on camera using a DSS operative for a derogatory task in the full glare of the general public.
Nigeria’s Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau, has been caught on tape using an officer of Nigeria’s secret police, the State Security Service, to clean his shoes in public.
A video obtained by PREMIUM TIMES showed the minister, dressed in white gown, relaxing on a couch with his legs stretched out. The SSS officer appeared from the sides, with a handkerchief in his right hand and a holstered service pistol protruding from his jacket.
He was shown stooping before the minister, using his left hand to lift Mr. Dambazau’s right leg, slightly above the floor to clean his loafers. The minister bent his head to notice him, before looking away to focus on the event unfolding in a distance.
The minister was at the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps Academy in an Abuja suburb for an event in December. He was seated between what seemed to be top officers of the NSCDC who merely took short glances at the SSS officer stooping before them.
Soon, the right leg shoe was glistering again and he steadily dropped it back to a dusty floor. The minister adjusted himself in his couch and gently raised the left foot, appearing detached, while the SSS officer took it in his palms again and wiped off the dust.
Top Nigerian officials are known for misusing or abusing security details posted to them. Apparently irritated by the way security officials are treated by the VIPs to which they are attached, the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, in May last year, warned police officers against running errands or doing domestic chores for their principals.
