The Department of the state Service (DSS) has reacted to the accusation levelled against its members that they aided the escape of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra following his appearance in Jerusalem.
Reacting to the development, the DSS denied the allegation that five of its personnel allegedly aided Mr. Nnamdi Kanu to escape from Nigeria .
Spokesperson for the DSS , Mr. Peter Afunanya , in a statement in Abuja on Monday , described the rumour alleging that operatives of the agency helped Kanu to escape as “ malicious . ”

He said , “ The Service wishes to state that the news is fake , mischievous and defamatory . It is nothing but a figment of the imagination of the originators .
“ The public should , by now , have noted the antics of Kanu , IPOB and their collaborators whose stock in trade is to peddle unfounded rumours , gossips and propaganda aimed at subverting the government , its key agencies and officials .
“ The DSS is aware that some unscrupulous elements are keen on exploiting the situation to constitute a nuisance to the freedoms of all persons as guaranteed in the Constitution and as well disrupt the forthcoming general elections.
“ The DSS will not stand by idly and watch these undesirable elements achieve their aims.
“ It is to be further emphasised that the indissolubility, unity and indivisibility of our beloved country is sacred . ”
Afunanya called on those he described as “ obstructive planners against the unity of Nigeria ” to know that no individual or group can be bigger than this country.
He, therefore , reassured residents about their safety and the DSS ’ s commitment to providing an enabling environment for peace and stability in the country.
