The Nigerian Department of State service, DSS, has responded to reports that makes around the social media as they are accused of allegedly forcing people to confess in thier custody.
According to a statement by the Security Agency on Sunday signed by it’s PRO, Dr. Peter Afunanya (PhD), he said that the report is false as they do not take laws into their hands.
The statement reads:
“There is no iota of truth in the so called exclusive. The DSS does not force out confessions from suspects and has not done so in the matter of IPOB and ESN.”
“The Service is a professional agency that follows the rules of engagement and standards operating procedures in all of its activities. It does not take laws into its hands. It is a public knowledge that it has by, today, charged many suspects to court in line with democratic norms.”
“The entire reportage is a figment of the imagination of the news medium. Its aim is to simply malign the Service and bring it to disrepute.”
“By now, everyone should have been aware of the brand of guerilla journalism practised by this particular outfit. The public should ignore the report wholly.”
Recall that a report has accused the DSS of allegedly turturing the captured IPOB and ESN members in it’s custody to make them confess.
