In a recent interview with Aljazeera TV, Daura reiterated that the service will sustain the clampdown on not only corrupt public officials but also other saboteurs that might pose danger for the interest of the country as a whole.

In his words, 'Whatever comes before us with facts and figures, it will be dealt with equally as required by the law. The ongoing investigations and clampdown on corrupt persons and saboteurs of the nation’s interests will be sustained.'

The recently appointed DG urged Nigerians to raise their expectations as the secret police were poised to restore the confidence of citizens in the service.

'Nigerians should closely watch and follow what we have started and what we will continue to do. I am sure they will not find us wanting,' he said.
