The Department of State Services, DSS says it will continue to continue to disseminate actionable intelligence on matters of National security for the overall interest of Nigeria

In a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Dr. Peter Afunanya, the Service was reacting to Monday’s protest in Abuja by some groups alleging that the DSS is plotting to frame the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele for sponsoring terrorism.

The protesters under the aegis of Coalition of National Interest Defenders also claimed that a suit has already been filed at the Federal High Court by the DSS for an order to arrest and detain Emefiele for 60 days in the first instance.

Reacting to the claims, the DSS on Monday evening said it will not join issues, but warned those it says are “on a wild goose chase to be mindful of their actions”.

It insists that “the Service will not be distracted by the persons and/or groups from carrying out its duties to the Nation, citizens, President and Commander-in-Chief”.

It advised citizens to avoid being used to thwart or undermine lawful investigations, threatening to deal with those who act in the breach. (AIT)
