The Department of State Services (DSS) has clarified the purpose of its recent visit to the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) office in Abuja. Contrary to reports suggesting an unlawful raid, the DSS stated that the visit involved two unarmed operatives conducting a routine investigation. The agency described the claims of unlawful invasion and harassment
The Service further wishes to state that such official enquiries and liaison are traditional and does not in any way amount to illegality or raid.
“While it assures in-depth investigation of these malicious contents, it sues for citizens’ participation in national security management.
“The DSS, therefore, urges the public to disregard these false narratives as it restates its commitment to utmost professionalism in the discharge of its core mandate.”
