Nigeria SSS spy details leaked

Former Nigerian secret agents have told the BBC they are concerned for 
their safety after their personal records were published online.

The details of about 60 operatives remained on the comments section of a 
local news site for days before being deleted, reports the AP news agency.

One analyst told the BBC it was a national embarrassment and danger.

Militant Islamist group Boko Haram has not commented on reports it was 
behind the leak.

BBC reporters have seen a cached version of the site and used the details 
to contact former agents of the State Security Service (SSS).

"The publication has put me in danger," one former agent said.

The agents contacted by the BBC said they had not been officially told 
about the leak.
