The Department of State Services(DSS ) has emphasized that it has not broken any laws in handling the Emefiele Case in court.
This was revealed by the Service Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunanya, in Abuja.
According to him, the incident does not in any way reflect the professional disposition of the Service, adding that it has tremendous respect for the Judiciary as an Arm and Institution of Government and will not go out of its way to undermine it.
Afunanya noted that the personnel from both Agencies exhibited undue overzealousness in handling the situation, stating that further investigations are ongoing.
NEWSTODAYNG recalled that during arraignment of the suspended CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, conflict ensued between its staff and those of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
He said, “For emphasis, the DSS has not broken any laws in handling the Emefiele Case despite efforts by some elements to skew the narratives to the contrary.
“The Service had since alerted the public of sinister plots to discredit its leadership. In pursuit of its assignments, it will strive to remain professional, maintain ethical standards and high sense of discipline.
“The Service will ensure that it will not be used for clout and fame chasing or delusional heroism. It will, however, remain focused on its national security mandate and, therefore, enjoin well-meaning Nigerians to support it in achieving the desired security goals for the nation. It is imperative to note that we have no other country but Nigeria. We should join hands, with love and tolerance, to build it.”
