DSS Responds To Alleged Invasion of SERAP Offices

The Department of State Services (DSS) has reacted to allegations of invasion of the offices of Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP)

Details of the DSS reaction as published on its official website, said it had been inundated with multiple enquiries on its alleged unlawful invasion of SERAP offices in Abuja and Lagos, describing the narrative as inaccurate and misleading.

IT said what had been going on was a routine investigation rather than an invasion.

“For the records, a team of two (2) unarmed Service operatives were lawfully detailed on routine investigation to SERAP office in Abuja, which has sadly been skewed and misinterpreted as unlawful, harassment and intimidation of SERAP officials.

“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 of indept investigation of these malicious contents, it sues for citizens’ participation in national security management”, the refuttal said.

The DSS thus urged the public to disregard “these false narratives”, restating its commitment to utmost professionalism in the discharge of its core mandate.
