The Department of State Services (DSS) has reiterated that it will continue to disseminate actionable intelligence to relevant authorities devoid of any sentiment.
The Service, in a statement by Peter Afunanya, Public Relations Officer clarified that one of its roles is the investigation of matters of national security dimension.
The DSS also pledged to remain focused and unbiased, saying it will not, by any means, succumb to propaganda, intimidation and the desperation of hirelings to undermine it.
Continuing, the statement said “DSS has always discharged its responsibility in the overall interest of Nigerian citizens”.
“It will also not give room to the use of falsehood and deceit to misdirect public understanding and perceptions of issues of national importance.
Meanwhile, the Service warned those on a wild goose chase to be mindful of their actions.
Similarly, “DSS urged members of the public to disregard the vituperations and rantings of misguided elements and not allow themselves to be used as instruments of destabilisation”.
The Service emphasised that it will not be distracted by persons or groups from carrying out its duties to the Nation, citizens, President and Commander-in-Chief.
Consequently, the DSS therefore urged citizens to avoid being used to thwart or undermine the Service and its lawful investigations, stressing that “those who wish to act in the breach will be dealt with in accordance with the law”.
