At the beginning of this month, @OfficialDSSNG decided to bring a most unusual charge under the Cybercrimes Act against the former Chairman of @NigBarAssoc in Shendam in the Southern Senatorial District of Plateau State.
I can now confirm that these charges constitute an egregious abuse of power by the family of the President of the Court of Appeal, #PCA Monica Dongban Mensem. I do not say this lightly but it has to be said.
Nkup Gabriel Tsenyen, the former branch Chairman of the NBA against whom the charges are preferred, is from the Ngotugu'ut community. That is also the village of the PCA.
In 2025, Mr. Tsenyen filed a case at the High Court of Plateau State in Shendam against 4 defendants in respect of a dispute over land. The third named defendant in the case, Mr. Miskoom Niemu'ut Mensem, is the blood brother of the PCA.
The charges being preferred by @OfficialDSSNG in Abuja against Mr. Tsenyen arise in connection with this land dispute that is already in court. This is not a matter connected with the protection of internal security, which is the primary responsibility of @OfficialDSSNG. This is a weaponisation of the Service for private purposes. It is #AbuseOfPower.
The Director-General of @OfficialDSSNG has a responsibility to step in & bring this abuse to an end fortwith. Let the High Court of Plateau State do its work of adjudicating the land dispute in peace.
