The Department of State Services (DSS) said on Monday that it would not succumb to propaganda and rumours making the rounds over its planned framing and arrest of the Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele.

The DSS also said that It will succumb to intimidation and the desperation of hirelings to undermine it nor will it give room to the use of falsehood and deceit to misdirect public understanding and perceptions of issues of national importance.

It has therefore warned those peddling the rumours to desist from spreading falsehood or have themselves to blame.

The warning is coming following a protest by the Coalition of National Interest Defenders over an alleged plot by the service to frame up the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, over alleged terrorism sponsorship against Nigeria.

The group also alleged that the agency had secretly instituted a court action against the CBN governor at a Federal High Court in Abuja to get him arrested.

DSS public relations officer, Peter Afunaya, gave the warning in a statement issued Monday night in Abuja.

Afunaya said in the statement that the Service will continue to remain focused and disseminate actionable intelligence to the relevant authorities devoid of any sentiment.

The statement reads: “The Department of State Services (DSS) wishes to clarify that one of its roles is the investigation of matters of national security dimension. It has always discharged this responsibility in the overall interest of Nigerian citizens. As such, the Service will continue to disseminate actionable intelligence to the relevant authorities devoid of any sentiment.

“While professionally discharging its mandate, the DSS pledges to remain focused and unbiased. It will not, by any means, succumb to propaganda, intimidation and the desperation of hirelings to undermine it. It will also not give room to the use of falsehood and deceit to misdirect public understanding and perceptions of issues of national importance.

“Given not to joining issues, the Service warns those on a wild goose chase to be mindful of their actions.

“Similarly, it urges members of the public to disregard the vituperations and rantings of misguided elements and not allow themselves to be used as instruments of destabilisation.

Notably, these elements should remember the famous axiom that “you will only deceive some people, some of the time, but not all people, all the time”. To put it succinctly, the Service will not be distracted by persons and/or groups from carrying out its duties to the Nation, citizens, President and Commander-in-Chief. Ctizens are, therefore, urged to avoid being used to thwart or undermine the Service and its lawful investigations as those who wish to act in the breach will be dealt with in accordance with the law.”

Shithole country


God bless Los Angeles

God bless America

I made the happiest decision of leaving that shithole in 2019

I never regret that decision till today. In LA I've got peace and happiness you can ever have as human here on earth

Africa is hell and it will forever be hell.

Let me try to explain this whole issue in ordinary and simple terms. You can form your decision on this.

It all began when Hon. Kazaure Gudaji claimed N89 trillion stamp duties was misappropriated and diverted by the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.

However, Garba Shehu, the presidential spokesperson, debunked this Kazaure’s N89 trillion missing funds claim, and said that it was “ludicrous that a member of the parliament would claim to be secretary of an executive committee”.

If an executive committee has been appointed by the president, the spokesperson would be in the know. But now, the said spokesperson is denying the existence of any such committe.

Stay with me.

Or are they alleging that Buhari is not in control of his government? That he could make appointments and his actual spokesperson would claim he did not?

Hon. Kazaure claimed the committee was secretly constituted by President Muhammadu Buhari, with Adetola Adekoya and him as the chairman and secretary respectively.

He said the appointment came in a letter dated 8 August, and he asked Buhari to set up the committee that included the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Yusuf Bichi, Mohammed Wakili, a retired commissioner of police and one Mr Okafor, a retired staffer of the National Intelligence Agency.

Whatever it is, I’m hoping there’s some form of decorum and the president himself gets to make a statement on this and puts and end to it. Because it’s becoming disgraceful.

The governor of the Central Bank of a country is being chased by the Department of State Security.
Do you know the implication of this?

How many threads on this old rougue?

Nawa oo

It's so disheartening that Buhari has been unable to have control of this govt. No wonder we're in such a mess. This is the first time in the history of Nigeria that we will have different agencies in the executive arm of govt being at war with each other. How can we make progress this way? The DSS has become rogues who act with impunity. Nothing good has come out of them in the last 8 years.

Useless government.

Hehehe! When Emefiele was going lawless by abusing his office to contest for the office of the President, DSS didn't Said anything.

Now suddenly they wants to bare their fangs. There is more to this DSS story than met the eyes. Meanwhile, It is DSS versus Emefiele! Fight!

2023 General Election game plans

He has the backing of Mr president they are all toothless bull dogs barking

You tiff abi you no tiff

Nigeria dey auto pilot
Every arm of government is taking decision on its own

I pity tinibu walai

U don pity ur sef finish na tinubu u wan dey pity mumu


Them say person dey sponsor terrorists u dey mention tinubu......everything is tinubu

By next year June, Godwin Emefiele will be finally free of Buhari's disastrous meddling in the fixing of the exchange rate and other matters. The Naira would become more stable, market reflective and the present artificial fx scarcity a thing of the past.

Emefiele appears to have skeletons in his wardrobe.

Or

Emefiele is trying to deliver Nigerians from a very powerful and corrupt cabal that is fighting back.

ESCOBAT de learn for ESCOfiele...
