Son of ex-DSS DG Bichi denies fleeing with govt $2m

Abba Bichi, son of former Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Yusuf Bichi, has refuted claims circulating on an online news portal that he is on the run after allegedly stealing $2 million from his father.

The news, widely dismissed as fake, alleged that Abba fled with the stolen money. However, Abba, a professional footballer currently based in Abuja and exploring club opportunities in Germany, addressed the rumors in a podcast recorded inside a stadium in Germany.

In a video released online, Abba could be heard speaking to his father after his team had lost a match. His father, Yusuf Bichi, offered words of encouragement, saying, “In life, you win some and lose some.” The exchange also involved Abba’s coach, identified as Mr. Thomas, who mentioned that their next match would be against Bayer Leverkusen. Yusuf Bichi expressed optimism about the upcoming game, showing his continuous support for his son’s career.

The false report is the latest in a series of online attacks aimed at tarnishing the image of the former DSS boss, who served in his role for over six years with distinction.
