The Department of State Services (DSS) says it does not
abduct citizens.
The secret police said this in reaction to recent reports
that it kidnaps Nigerians under the watch of President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement on Wednesday, Peter Afunanya, spokesman of
the DSS, while describing the reports as “misleading”, said the agency only
arrests people when necessary.
Afunanya said the secret police has never arrested anyone
without following the necessary procedures.
“The DSS is law
abiding and committed to the protection of citizens and sensitive government
installations,” he said.
“In doing this, it will continue to discharge its mandate of
intelligence collection and timely dissemination of same to relevant action
agencies and stakeholders. Their continuous mischievous resolve to use fake
news and hate speech to set the country on fire is condemnable.
“Media practitioners in the country should rise above
parochial considerations, sanitise its fold and fish out quacks among them. The
media can also peer review and embark on self-censorship as part of achieving
professionalism in the industry.
“They must reject the
allure of enticement by external forces to use them to instigate violence or
undermine government and its institutions.
“Otherwise, those who run foul of the law must be ready to
face justice either now or in the future.”
