DSS Puts A Lie To SERAP’s Claim, Says, Office Was Not Invaded

The Department of State Services (DSS), on Tuesday, September 10, 2024, said that the allegations that it invaded the offices of SERAP in Abuja and Lagos was entirely inaccurate and misleading in its intent and purposes.

The DSS in a statement posted on its official website @www.dss.gov.ng, explained that for the records, two of its unarmed operatives were lawfully detailed on routine investigation to SERAP office in Abuja and not invasion as was portrayed and fed to the public.

The Service noted that the visit was sadly skewed and misinterpreted as unlawful, harassment and intimidation of SERAP officials.

The Secret Service said that such official enquiries and liaison are traditional and does not in any way amount to illegality or raid.

The DSS which was responding to multiple enquiries on its alleged unlawful invasion of SERAP offices in Abuja and Lagos, assured of an in-depth investigation of the malicious contents. While suing for citizens’ participation in national security management, the DSS urged members of the public to disregard what it further described as “false narratives”.

The Service restated its commitment to utmost professionalism in the discharge of its core mandate.
