The Department of State Services (DSS), Cross River State Command, has said it will make sure disciplinary actions are taken against an official, Eyo Bassey Eyo, who allegedly got himself involved in debt recovery in the State.

The DSS official and three others (Sylvia James F 26 years, Eyo Edet Okon M 29 years and Jason Udo M 36) had earlier been paraded by the Police Command in the State, for kidnapping two persons, Isaac Sampson and Brown Irek Ofadim.

However, in a statement released by the State Director of Security, Adebayo Ilupeju, on Saturday, the agency revealed that its personnel was not a kidnapper, but will be disciplined for working against the code of conduct of the agency.

“Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against Eyo for engaging in debt recovery.

“This is termed an illegal operation as it runs contrary to the Service’s rules for conduct of its personnel” he stated, explaining that the attention of the Cross River State Command of Department of State Services (DSS) was drawn to the alleged arrest of one of its personnel, Eyo Bassey Eyo and his subsequent parade by the Anti-Cultism and Kidnapping Squad of the Nigeria Police in Calabar, Cross River State over suspected kidnap.

“The Command wishes to state that this is a misrepresentation of what happened. The fact is that Eyo had accompanied three (3) of his friends namely Eyo Edet, Sylvia James and Jason Udo to assist them recover a debt from Robert Bassey. On arrival, the Police apprehended the alleged kidnappers and Eyo who was in the company of the trio.”

Explaining more, circumstances that led to the involvement of his official, the Director said that investigation has revealed that the complainant, Robert Bassey had fleeced the trio of Edet, James and Udo of a certain sum of money with a promise to help them secure admission at the University of Calabar.

“But when Bassey could not fulfil his obligation, they demanded a refund of the money which he had defaulted severally. The story was brought to the attention of Eyo, our staff who advised that the matter be reported to the Police. His advice however fell on deaf ears and unknown to him, his friends took him along to the home of Bassey who connived with his brothers and invited the Police claiming that they were being kidnapped.

“It became imperative that this explanation is made in order to put things in their right perspective. The Service maintains robust relationship with other sister agencies and will further assist the police in its investigations,” the Director maintained.

Dey for don shoot am if na ordinary civilian

under dis govt paramilitary &military institutions have become useless as they get themselves involved in petty matters

It is Nigeria police way. The public accuses them of doing nothing on crimes everywhere, they turn around, arrest the next available victims within their reach, even the ones, that commit traffic offence and accuses them of stealing, arson, murder, kidnapping, Cultism, robbery, armed robbery , extortion, rape, extra judicial killings, terrorism and any crime you can think of. Sorry is your name if you become their victim

What does not add up in the story?

Do you want the story to be broken down for you in pidgin English?

By the way I think there should be stiff penalties for wrongfully accusing someone of kidnap.

ILLEGAL OPERATIONS. UNETHICAL WITH D DSS
THAT DUTY IS PURELY POLICE OR EFCC AND NOT DSS KINDS... HE IS IN BERY HOT SOUP.

The no. 1 rule globally in the armed forces is; never be separated from your I.D card, it saves you a world of troubles. I believe Bassey broke the sacred law and ended up getting cuffed by "Men in Black".

It is Tavor 21 not 45

Apart from disciplining the DSS official,the debtor that connived with his brother to contrive the kidnapping allegation should be arrested and prosecuted vigiorously.
Thief trying to play smart.

I'm pretty sure he identified himself. But he is not above the law. Did you not hear of Soldiers snatching ballot boxes? If they are apprehended, should they not be paraded?
