The Department of State Services (DSS) has released a carpenter, Mustapha Marwana, who was wrongly arrested in connection with the May 15 abduction and killing of pupils and teachers in Oriire, Oyo State. According to a security source who spoke to Punch, the DSS Director-General, Tosin Ajayi, ordered Marwana’s release after an investigation found no evidence linking him to the attack. The source said a DSS panel conducted a thorough review of Marwana’s alleged involvement and eventually cleared him of any connection to the incident. Investigators reportedly found that the Katsina-born artisan was not a member of any terrorist organisation and had no operational links to the Ansaru terrorist group blamed for the attack. The development comes months after suspected Ansaru terrorists invaded Community Grammar School, Baptist Nursery/Primary School and L.A. Primary School in Oriire on May 15.
