The Department of State Services (DSS) has alleged plans by some persons to stage a campaign of calumny against the government.
In a statement signed by Peter Afunanya , the Public Relations Officer of the secret police on Saturday, the DSS said it has identified some persons and groups planning to stage campaigns of calumny against the FG over the suspension and investigation of Mr Godwin Emefiele.
The statement added that “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.
DSS in the statement also noted the misleading commentaries, speculative narratives, storylines and videos being circulated on 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.”
Meanwhile, DSS has stated that it has granted appropriate persons access to the suspended CBN boss, long before the court gave order for same.
