August 02, (THEWILL) – The Department of State Services (DSS), has disowned a trending security alert on intending attacks by terrorists in Abuja and other parts of the country.
Spokesperson for the Service, Peter Afunanya, dismissed the purported DSS security advisory on Monday night.
“This is fake”, he said, drawing attention to the work of mischief- makers.
Afunanya, who described the security advisory as fake, drew attention of the media to the security alert issued by ECOWAS Commission in Abuja days ago, which was doctored to purportedly produce the DSS version in circulation.
He denied that the DSS issued any security advisory to Nigerians, stating that the Agency does not use such format while issuing alerts.
THEWILL reports that the fake alert was a counterfeit of an internal advisory issued by ECOWAS for the attention of its workers, but the logo of the DSS was now added to it to purportedly suggest that the agency is raising the alarm.
