Peter Nwaoduah
Peter Nwaoduah was Director General of the State Security Service (SSS) under General Sani Abacha.[1] He headed the department from October 1992-1998, taking orders from Major Hamza al-Mustapha.[2] His appointment was considered one well deserved because of the choice of the former head of state, General Sani Abacha to choose his appointees on the basis on competence without prejudice to religious or ethnic backgrounds. Mr Peter Nwaoduah was one among many southerners appointed by Abacha who were acclaimed the best cabinet in the country's history comprising of AlhajiLateef Jakande, AlhajiBamanga Tukur, Mallam Adamu Ciroma, Chief Anthony Ani, Chief Olu Onagoruwa, Abubakar Rimi, Dr Walter Ofonagoro, Comrade Uche Chukwumerije, Ambassador Kingibe, MKO Abiola’s running mate, Dr.Sarki Tafida and Chief Tom Ikimi.[3]
Not much is known about his early life and career. He took over the leadership of the SSS from Albert Horsfall and handed over to Colonel Kayode Are in 1998. He acquired his Service residence in Asokoro, Abuja in 1999.[4]
