THE Department of State Services (DSS) has confirmed that it been inundated with multiple enquiries on its alleged unlawful invasion of SERAP offices in Abuja and Lagos.
DSS stated this in a statement on Tuesday, September 10 posted on its website which dismissed the allegations as inaccurate and misleading.
According to DSS, “This narrative is inaccurate and misleading in its intent. For the records, a team of two (2) unarmed Service operatives were lawfully detailed on routine investigation to SERAP office in Abuja, which has sadly been skewed and misinterpreted as unlawful, harassment and intimidation of SERAP officials.
“The Service further wishes to state that such official enquiries and liaison are traditional and does not in any way amount to illegality or raid.
“While it assures of indepth investigation of these malicious contents, it sues for citizens’ participation in national security management.”
The DSS, therefore, urged the public to disregard these false narratives as it restates its commitment to utmost professionalism in the discharge of its core mandate.
