The DSS also claimed “the groups intend to gather at different points in the Federal Capital Territory, 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.”
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Saturday by Peter Afunanya, the DSS’s Public Relations Officer, National Headquarters Abuja.
The Service claimed it was mindful of orchestrations to infiltrate its fold for the purpose of using disloyal staff for subversive aims against its leadership, warning the plotters to desist forthwith from their plans.
The statement read: “The Department of State Services (DSS) has identified persons and groups planning to stage campaigns of calumny against it and the Government over the suspension and investigation of Mr Godwin Emefiele.
“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 in the 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.
“It is instructive to state that the Service 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.
“The Service implements Standard Operating Procedures on Suspect Handling and Investigation to the latter. It conducts its affairs transparently, professionally and respects the rule of law in compliance with democratic governance.
“For the avoidance of doubt, it assures of its professionalism in the current matter(s) under its purview. It will, however, not be distracted or intimidated.”

Nigeria is a very terrible country. I don't want to use the word useless I had in mind. If the CBN governor has a case to answer, isn't it the responsibility of the Economic and fraud crime commission to investigate and prosecute? Does it fall within the power of DSS?
ReplyDeleteAt what point did we get to this level of rascality?
Create a body of external auditors if truly you want something positive to come out of this. I repeat again, the DSS has no business keeping the CBN governor for a day. Have they lost all sense of reasoning and responsibility?
TJ, this is high profile investigation, if at all there is anything legally wrong with what they are doing, at his level, i know he has a team of lawyers, by now they would have been in court seeking for his release. Secondly, every agency has its mandate, when it comes to undercover investigation and all, the DSS has all the powers, else, how would EFCC ever know that he was trying to escape through lagos?
DeleteSometimes, like some people told you earlier, you do not have to comment on every post, leave law for the lawyers and medicine for the doctors.
He was trying to escape? Why the lies? Someone that held a meeting with Tinubu few days he was sacked wanted to escape?
DeleteWonderful!!!
So Falana SAN and also Olisa Agbakoba that said same thing I just said above are not lawyers abi?
Provided it's TJ, you people will always fault it.
Mtcheeewww
ReplyDeleteLeave that story. The people that like Emeifele are too big to worry about things like that. The rest of the people that can make wahala don't like him . Stop making up stories.
