The Department of State Services (DSS) has denied media reports that Operatives of the State Security dispersed medical doctors who allegedly gathered at the Sheraton Hotel, Abuja, for a Saudi Arabia organized job interview on Thursday, August 26, 2021.
The DSS described the report as apparent "falsehood being circulated" and argues that it was downright "illogical" which does not "add up" to good reason.
The reaction of the Service was contained in a brief statement at the weekend by the Spokesman of the DSS, Dr. Peter Afunnanya. He expressed displeasure that "sections of the media that reported it did not care to verify the news before going to print.
"No further evidence was also adduced to prove that the DSS carried out such operation at the hotel. It is obvious that the news is only designed to embarrass the Organisation", he lamented.
Dr Afunnanya however enjoined Journalists and other media practitioners to always "crosscheck their facts and ensure that they do not use their platforms to mislead the public or undermine national security". NNL.
