BREAKING: DSS Issues Fresh Statement On Emefiele’s Arrest, Uncovers Plot Against FG

The Department of State Services (DSS) in a recent statement, has announced it has uncovered plans by some persons to stage a campaign of calumny against the government.

According to the statement signed by Peter Afunanya PhD, fsi, the Public Relations Officer of the institution, and dated June 17, 2023, the DSS has identified some persons and groups planning to stage campaigns of calumny against the FG over the suspension and investigation of Mr Godwin Emefiele.

The statement further read “Such groups intend to gather at different points in Abuja and Lagos in the coming week with placards depicting the Service and Government in bad light as well as calling for the immediate release of Emefiele.”

“The Service is, therefore, aware of a cheap propaganda aimed at demotivating and distracting it from professionally executing the onerous responsibilities assigned to it.
It has also noted the misleading commentaries, speculative narratives, storylines and videos being circulated on social media by uninformed parties, critics and/or desperadoes.”

“It is mindful of orchestrations to infiltrate its fold for the purpose of using disloyal staff for subversive aims against its leadership. While these efforts are considered as hatchet jobs designed to distract, the Service warns the plotters to desist forthwith from their plans.
This is more so that the arrow heads are already under watch and will be apprehended when and if it becomes necessary.”

The DSS also clarified that they had granted the family of Emefiele, medical officials and appropriate persons access to him, right from the day he was taken in and long before the court order requesting so.
