The Department of State Services (DSS), on Sunday, said it has followed, with keen observation, the seeming 'overzealous comments' by sections of the public in view of issues relating to the arrest and investigation of the self-proclaimed Kaduna-Abuja Train hostages negotiator, Mallam Tukur Mamu.
Mamu who is also said to be the Publisher of the Desert Herald newspaper, is currently being detained in the protection facility of the Security Service where he is equally undergoing several investigations regarding his activities with human hostage perpetrators.
The DSS issued the warning on Sunday, September 11, 2022 through the Spokesman of the Service, Peter Afunnanya, Ph.D. He said the DSS does not wish to be distracted "with some of the skewed narratives pervading the media space.
"Instead, it requests to be left alone to concentrate on the ongoing investigations, the outcomes of which have remained mind-boggling".
Afunnanya however stated that in the meantime, the "Service will cease further comments on the subject matter since the Court will determine its course. Consequently, the public is hereby enjoined to desist from making unguarded utterances and await the court proceedings". NNL.
