# Denglishalhaji Challenges DSS to Invite Senator Shehu Buba Umar for Questioning

A Facebook comment by Denglishalhaji has called on Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS) to invite Senator Shehu Buba Umar for questioning, raising concerns about public confidence in the country’s security institutions.

A social media user identified as Denglishalhaji has challenged the Department of State Services (DSS) to demonstrate its independence by inviting Senator Shehu Buba Umar for questioning.

In a comment shared on his Facebook account, Denglishalhaji wrote: “The DSS need to prove to me dat dey are not working with Senator Shehu Buba Umar by inviting him for questioning or else.”

The statement reflects the author's concerns about the relationship between the security agency and the senator, while calling for action that he believes would help address his doubts.

The comment has drawn attention to the broader issue of public trust in Nigeria’s security institutions and the expectations that citizens place on agencies responsible for national security.

The DSS is responsible for domestic intelligence and internal security. As a public institution, its operations are expected to comply with the law and be guided by professional standards, credible intelligence and due process.

However, a call for a public official to be questioned does not, in itself, establish wrongdoing or provide evidence of an improper relationship with a security agency. Any decision to invite Senator Shehu Buba Umar for questioning would ordinarily depend on relevant investigative grounds and established procedures.

Denglishalhaji's remarks highlight the role social media plays in providing Nigerians with a platform to express concerns about public officials and government institutions.

As of the time of writing, no response from the DSS or Senator Shehu Buba Umar regarding the specific comment has been independently verified for this report.

The development underscores the importance of transparency, accountability and public confidence in Nigeria’s security institutions.
