The speculation making the round that its former Director General Department of State Services, Lawal Musa Daura still controlled affairs at the Agency, long after his removal from Office last year has been debunked by the Agency.
This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja by the Spokesperson of the Agency, Peter Afunanya.
It warned that “any person or group that further engages him or his representatives or associates do so at their own peril.”
The Statement reads, “the attention of the Department of State Services (DSS) has been drawn to insinuations and wide speculation that its former Director General, Alhaji Lawal Musa Daura mni, still controls affairs at the Agency, long after his removal from Office.
“While the Service debunks this false belief, it warns that any person or group that further engages him or his representatives/associates does so at their own peril.
“The Service will not tolerate acts of impersonation designed to undermine it and will decisively deal with a person(s), no matter how highly placed, that may engage in such behaviour.
“The public should, therefore, note this and avoid circumstances under which unsuspecting persons may be deceived.
“On the other hand, the DSS continues to recommit itself to the core values of professionalism, selflessness, vigilance and the rule of law that it has always been identified with.”
