The Department of State Services (DSS) says it has no intention to arrest Mr Godwin Emiefiele, Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
DSS, in a statement to the media and signed yesterday (Monday), by its public relations officer, Peter Afunaya said that that there is no iota of truth in the planned arrest of the CBN Governor, adding that it would not hesitate to arrest anybody, found disseminating such information in the country.
According to him, DSS will continue to remain focused and disseminate actionable intelligence to the relevant authorities devoid of any sentiment.
The statement reads: “The Department of State Services (DSS) wishes to clarify that one of its roles is the investigation of matters of national security dimension. It has always discharged this responsibility in the overall interest of Nigerian citizens. As such, the Service will continue to disseminate actionable intelligence to the relevant authorities devoid of any sentiment.
“While professionally discharging its mandate, the DSS pledges to remain focused and unbiased. It will not, by any means, succumb to propaganda, intimidation and the desperation of hirelings to undermine it. It will also not give room to the use of falsehood and deceit to misdirect public understanding and perceptions of issues of national importance.
“Given not to joining issues, the Service warns those on a wild goose chase to be mindful of their actions.
“Similarly, it urges members of the public to disregard the vituperations and rantings of misguided elements and not allow themselves to be used as instruments of destabilisation.
The DSS also said that It would neither succumb to intimidation and the desperation of hirelings to undermine it nor would it give room to the use of falsehood and deceit to misdirect public understanding and perceptions of issues of national importance.
Recall that a group known as Coalition of National Interest Defenders alleged weeks ago that the service is framing up the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, over alleged terrorism sponsorship against Nigeria.
The group also alleged that the agency had secretly instituted a court action against the CBN governor at a Federal High Court in Abuja to get him arrested.
