The Department of State Services (DSS) has described allegations by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) that its officers had taken control of its Abuja and Lagos offices, as “inaccurate and misleading”.
The DSS, in a publication on its website on Tuesday, September 10, 2024 in Abuja, said a team of two unarmed operatives of the service were lawfully detailed on routine investigation to SERAP office in Abuja.
The publication said SERAP, a human rights group, had sadly skewed and misinterpreted the lawful assignment as unlawful, harassment and intimidation of its officials.
The Department said such official enquiries and liaison were traditional and does not in any way amount to illegality or raid.
The Service assured an indept investigation of the malicious contents and called for citizens’ participation in national security management.
