In his defense, Bello Abdulazeez stated that as part of Dingyadi’s qualification, when he was a permanent secretary in the Sokoto State civil service in 1991, he was assigned to head the Careers and Special Services Department in the SSG office, where he served as Secretary to the State Security Council and was involved in not only interacting with all security agencies but also assisting in the management of the state’s security.
