Tinubu’s Alleged Incriminating Documents: DSS Never Raided Our Offices – CCB
The Code of Code Bureau (CCB), has debunked insinuations in media reports that the Department of State Services (DSS), raided its offices and carted away incriminating documents on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his associates.
The CCB stated unequivocally that at no time did the DSS or any apparatus of the Federal Government of Nigeria carried out any raid or search for incriminating documents on the president and his associates on the office of the Code of Conduct Bureau Head office in Abuja or any of the offices in the states and FCT.
It further stated that at no time since this President Tinubu-led government assumed office on May 29, 2023 was any directive received from the Federal Government to cover up any matter on the president and his associates as being conveyed by certain online publications.
These were contained in a statement by the Director, Education and Advocacy Services of the CCB, Mr. Daniel Okafor, saying that there was no truth whatsoever in the report by Sahara Reporters to the effect that the DSS raided offices of anti-corruption agencies, specifically the CCB, ICPC and EFCC, and carted away incriminating documents affecting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his associates.
Okafor further said; “While CCB would have preferred to ignore the write up giving the unprofessional way and manner the story was put together, but doing so will give the tale some nuisance value and in a way help the writers achieve their aim of misinforming and misleading the general public about an event that happened only in the minds of the writers.
The CCB reassured Nigerians that as a foremost anti-corruption agency, it will continue to discharge its functions as contained under paragraph 3 of Part 1 of the Third Schedule of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).
The CCB therefore urged members of the public to disregard the publication as fake news, stressing that there was no iota of truth and evidence in the story.
