The Department of State Services (DSS) denies the misleading news by www.saharareporters.com that it tortured Sa'idu Afaka, the President’s official driver to death.
A statement on Wednesday by the Spokesman of the DSS, Dr. Peter Afunnanya, that "while the said driver was never arrested or detained by the Service, it is a known fact that it does not torture suspects. Its suspect handling method is usually in compliance with the tenets of the criminal justice administration system and democracy.
It may be recalled, according to the DSS statement, that the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, had on 6th April 2021 announced the passing of Afaka after a prolonged illness as well as the condolences of the President to his family.
Dr. Afunnanya, therefore, urged members of the "public to disregard the fake news spewed by the online platform". NNL.
