The DSS claimed to have located individuals and organisations preparing to launch defamation campaigns against it and the Federal Government in response to Mr. Godwin Emefiele’s suspension and subsequent investigation.
According to a statement by the service’s spokesperson, Dr. Peter Afunanya, the organisations plan to assemble at various locations in Abuja and Lagos with placards that criticise the Service and the Federal Government and demand Emefiele’s immediate release.
The Service thus issues a cease-and-desist order to individuals responsible for this conspiracy.
Meanwhile the service says it has granted the family of Emefiele, medical officials and appropriate persons access to him, right from the day he was taken in and obtained a court order to do so.
The Service implements Standards Operating Procedures on Suspect Handling and Investigation.
