The Department of State Services (DSS) has filed a suit against political economist and former presidential candidate, Professor Pat Utomi, accusing him of attempting to establish a parallel government in Nigeria under the guise of a “shadow cabinet.”
In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/937/2025 and filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja on May 13, the DSS is seeking a judicial declaration that Utomi’s actions constitute a threat to the 1999 Constitution and national security.
