The Department of the State Seevices (DSS) has denied having a hand in the death of husband of late NAFDAC boss, Chike Akunyili.<\/p>\n

In a statement by DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, \u201cThe attention of the Department of State Services (DSS) has been drawn to an allegation that its operatives killed Dr. Chike Akunyili<\/a>. Also, the Service was alerted to a social media video claiming that the \u201cNigerian DSS\u201d murdered security escorts at Nkpor, Anambra State on September 28, 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Service hereby denies these allegations and wishes to clearly state that they are spurious and illogical. There was no basis for the DSS to kill the Medical Doctor and\/or fellow law enforcement agents. The Service cherishes life and believes in the rule of law.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe public should therefore be wary of the false narratives by those desirous of using it (the Service) to cover up their heinous acts. The operations of these hostile elements are already well known in the public space and to the discerning. \u201cMoreover, their desperate effort to divert attention or deploy reverse psychology to deceive unsuspecting members of the public has become a stock in trade that has defined their patterns and trends. It is a matter of time before the law will catch up with them.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, the Service and sister agencies will not relent in tracking down those behind the breakdown of law and order in parts of the country with a view to bringing them to justice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
