PRESIDENT JONATHAN'S CALLS AND SSS COULD HAVE BEEN HACKED BY NSA -SNOWDEN

Indications emerged on Saturday that the United
States has been spying on the Nigeria’s security
agencies, especially the State Security Service, and
probably the Presidency.

In a report published in New York Times , Edward
Snowden, an American computer specialist, who
worked for the US Central Intelligence Agency and as a
contractor with the US National Security Agency,
stated that Nigeria’s SSS was one of the security
agencies across the globe that the N.S.A. had been
listening in on.

He said briefs on the information gleaned from
intercepting of telephone conversations and hacking of
computers of the SSS, other security agencies in
Nigeria and other countries are delivered to the office
of the US President, Barrack Obama every morning.

“By many accounts, the agency provides more than
half of the intelligence nuggets delivered to the White
House early each morning in the President’s Daily Brief
— a measure of success for American spies. One
document boasts that listening in on Nigerian State
Security Service had provided items for the briefing
“nearly two dozen” times. In every international crisis,
American policy makers look to the N.S.A. for inside
information,” Snowden told New York Times.

The release of documents that proved that the NSA
had been eavesdropping on the communications of
world leaders, including US allies, had caused
diplomatic rows, with Germany and some other
countries protesting.

Snowden also noted that the NSA had obtained
thousands of classified documents, containing secrets
of governments around the world, pointing to a
possibility that it might have obtained secret
documents of the Federal Government of Nigeria, or
tapped President Goodluck Jonathan’s phone
conversations.

Snowden, who is on a temporary political asylum in
Russia, disclosed classified details of several top-
secret United States, Israeli, and British government
mass surveillance programmes to the press.

He started releasing the NSA’s documents in June and
the documents he has released so far show that the
US has been spying most countries in the world.
