The Department of State Security Services (DSS) has said its operatives did not dispersed doctors at a job interview organised by Saudi Arabian officials in Abuja.
Specifically, the DSS stated that it did not disperse job seekers at the Sheraton Hotel, in Abuja on Thursday.
The DSS made this known in a statement obtained by SINL Nigeria Online on Friday.
The agency described the reports as “illogical” and meant to “embarrass” the organisation.
“Though this is illogical and does not add up, sections of the media that reported it did not care to verify the news before going to print,” the statement signed by the DSS spokesman, Dr. Peter Afunanya, added.
“No further evidence was also adduced to prove that the DSS carried out such an operation at the hotel. It is obvious that the news is only designed to embarrass the Organisation.”
The agency therefore tasked the press to get their facts right before publication so as not to “mislead the public or undermine national security”.
