The Department of State Services (DSS) said it has uncovered subterranean plots by alleged subversive elements to undermine the Security Service.
The DSS also said its findings reveal that such subversive groups plan to undertake a negative media campaign against the Service with the aim to further use fake news, propaganda, and malicious narratives through sponsored articles, among others, to undermine it.
In an alert statement late Tuesday night, August 31, 2021, by the DSS spokesman, Dr. Peter Afunnanya, the Service stated that it has "steadily monitored these activities, their perpetrators and therefore wish to inform the public to disregard the emerging trends and patterns".
According to Afunnanya, the DSS is re-assuring the Nigerian public of its "commitment to the discharge of its mandate. It will not be distracted or silenced. Those engaged in the deliberate efforts to run it down are, however, advised to desist from doing so or be ready to face the full wrath of the law." NNL.
