The acting DSS boss pledged to
collaborate with other security agencies in the interest of Nigerians.
He, however, declared that the
secret police will not be intimidated in the discharge of its constitutional
duties.
DSS has, in the past few days,
come under attacks by Nigerians over alleged violation of human rights.
The latest been the siege to the
National Assembly, an act which led to the sack of the former DG, Lawal Daura.
Speaking, Seiyifa said, ‘‘the
service, under my watch, would respect and uphold the legitimate rights of all
Nigerians without promoting the individual rights of any person above the
interest of the country.
“The service is ready to partner
with all stakeholders to contain all forms of national threats in the country.”
He also added that while the DSS
would ensure its best to protect the rights of the citizens, it would not
tolerate the abuse of freedom of speech by any person.
‘’The service would also protect
its constitutional mandate as its reviews the issues which portray the DSS in a
bad light.”
However, he stated that some of
the issues that are of concern include the alleged detention and trial of
criminal suspects in the country.
