The Department of State Services (DSS) has exposed plots by some subversive groups and individuals to undertake a negative media campaign against the Service.
The Public Relations Officer, Department of State Services, National Headquarters, Abuja, Dr. Peter Afunanya, said this in a press release on Tuesday night.
He noted that the aim of the individuals is to undermine the DSS.
According to him, “The aim is to further use fake news, propaganda and malicious narratives through sponsored articles, among others, to undermine it.
“The Service has steadily monitored these activities, their perpetrators and therefore wish to inform the public to disregard the emerging trends and patterns.
“The Service reassures its commitment to the discharge of its mandate. It will not be distracted or silenced. Those engaged in the deliberate efforts to run it down are however, advised to desist from doing so or be ready to face the full wrath of the law.”
There have been allegations against the DSS in recent times. Recall that its operatives were accused of dispersing doctors who stormed the recruitment venue for jobs in Saudi Arabia.
Also, Nnamdi Kanu’s lead counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, accused the Service of “manhandling” lawyers when they paid a visit to their client.
