Anambra Election: DSS Warns Against Media Sensationalism, Silent On Today Attack by fergie001(mod): 7:56pm On Oct 29, 2021

Ahead of the November 6th gubernatorial elections in Anambra state, the Department of State Services (DSS) has warned against continued sensationalization of news relating to security challenges in Nigeria.

Ironically, the Spokesman was silent on the murder of Secret Service operatives in Anambra today.

The Service made this known in a statement signed by its Spokesperson, Dr. Peter Afunanya, which a copy was made available to Saturday Independent.

The DSS said, it has observed that some media handlers give “unnecessary attention and coverage” to the activities of bandits, terrorists and secessionists.

This, the Service said, it’s “condemnable” given that these elements thrive on undeserved publicity which they enjoy from media patronage.

According to the statement, the DSS, “Wishes to draw public attention to the manner sections of the media have continued to sensationalize news relating to some of the security challenges in parts of the country.

“Amidst heightened insecurity in the South East and the upcoming Anambra State Governorship election, the media is advised to apply restraint and avoid sensationalizing news.

“The DSS believes that this dimension of reportage holds negative consequences for public order and peaceful coexistence.”

The Service, however, assured that, it will continue to collaborate with appropriate stakeholders to ensure not only a hitch free electoral exercise but that a conducive environment necessary for citizens to pursue their legitimate businesses in and outside the State is provided.

The DSS is probably the most compromised security outfit in Nigeria. And to believe anything it says is the equivalent of expecting a fool to be wise

In simple English

DSS doesn't want media houses to report the insecurities facing this country

Don't report the killings of Boko Haram

Don't report the activities of bandits

They want the media houses to only focus on how the FG under Buhari has turned the economy around and has positioned Nigerian economy I'm the world map

Empowered Nigerian youths

Tackled development and raised infrastructures and constant electricity

Business are now thriving under Buhari's regime

God will never forgive Lord Lugard and his olosho

Daura Secret Service on the beat.

They've forgotten that patriotism means loyalty to your country and not loyalty to politicians, not even the president.

But then, the DSS is peopled with thick-skulled orangutans.

Nwokem go and rest.
so their atrocities should not be reported again.
it's because they lost so much in Anambra today and the media reported immediately, hence they weren't able to cook up lies. Now they are warning the media........ warning them for what exactly??.
maybe you people should leave your own duty and become the state press.
Democracy indeed!!
