EFCC Arrests Jonathan's Ex-ADC
Operatives of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on
Sunday arrested Mr. Moses Jitoboh, Chief Personal Security Officer to
former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
Jitoboh, a serving Commissioner of Police, We gathered, was
arrested by EFCC operatives after shortly after luring him into the
Presidential Villa.
Jitoboh served as ADC to Jonathan when the latter served as vice and
acting President, and is the third security aide of the fomer president
to face harassment in a week.
An EFCC source told newsman that Jitoboh was "brought into our custody" on Sunday evening.
As at the time of this report, EFCC spokesman Mr. Wilson Uwujaren told newsman he didn't have any information on the reported arrest.
Last Thursday, operatives of the Department of State Security Services
(DSS) stormed the Abuja and Sokoto residences of Jonathan's National
Security Adviser (NSA) Colonel Sambo Dasuki to execute a search warrant.
On the same day, DSS arrested Mr. Gordon Obuah, Chief Security Officer (CSO) to former President Jonathan.
While the DSS has said it invaded Dasuki's residences following
intelligence on the possibility of treasonable felony, the Service has,
however, been silent on Obuah's arrest.
Born June 1, 1970, Jitoboh enlisted in the Nigeria Police Force as a
cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) on June 25, 1994, and was
confirmed ASP two years later.
in 1999, he was appointed ADC to Governor Diepreyie Alamieyeseigha of
Bayelsa State. Jitoboh lost his job as ADC following Alamieyeseigha's
impeachment and Jonathan's swearing-in as substantive governor.
Jitoboh, however, resurfaced as ADC in 2007 when Jonathan emerged Vice
President. He continued as ADC until May 2010 when Jonathan was sworn
in as substantive President and thereafter continued as Chief Personal
Security Officer.
