THE Directorate of the State Security Service (DSS) has foiled attempts by two suspects to kidnap one of the daughters of the late former president, Alhaji Umaru Yar’Adua, in Abuja, as it also arrested two kingpins who plotted the abduction, with four others said to be on the run.
The spokesperson of the service, Marilyn Ogar, who paraded the two suspects, Hamza Abubakar and Lawrence Okoro Dennis, said the gang had plotted to kidnap one of the daughters of the late former president at a construction site at Kado, a suburb of Abuja, before the operatives of the service, acting on a tip-off, struck.

TO some observers, the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) plans to choose President Goodluck Jonathan as the sole aspirant for its presidential ticket for the 2015 election. Supporters of the president, especially his kinsmen from the South- South, have also been unrelenting in trying to convince other stakeholders on the need for the president to continue in office. The likes of Chief Edwin Clark, Tompolo, Asari  Dokubo and others from the  president’s zone had, in several interviews, appeared to have threatened thunder and brimstone if the President was not allowed to succeed himself in office, come 2015.These remarks were often met with stiff reactions from  many Northerners who still nursed the grudge that the North  was politically shortchanged in 2011.
