Gordon Obuah, former chief security officer to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, is dead, TheCable reports.

According to the report, he died at the National Hospital, Abuja, after suffering “massive heart attack”.

The Department of State Services (DSS) had arrested Obuah two months after his principal left power. He was detained at the headquarters of the agency.

To protest his detention, Obuah embarked on hunger strike and fell ill with rumours filtering into the Nigerian media that he had died in detention. Following intense pressure mounted by concerned Nigerians, he was released.
