The Department of State Services on Monday refuted claims from some quarters that some of its personnel allegedly facilitated Nnamdi Kanu's escape from Nigeria. The Secret Police in a statement issued by its Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunnaya said the claim was malicious, fake and defamatory.
The statement reads in part
“The Service wishes to state that the news is fake, mischievous and defamatory. It is nothing but a figment of the imagination of the originators.
“The public should, by now, have noted the antics of Kanu, IPOB and their collaborators whose stock in trade is to peddle unfounded rumours, gossips, and propaganda aimed at subverting the government, its key agencies and officials.
“The DSS is aware that some unscrupulous elements are keen on exploiting the situation to constitute a nuisance to the freedoms of all persons as guaranteed in the Constitution and as well disrupt the forthcoming general elections. “The DSS will not stand by idly and watch these undesirable elements achieve their aims.
“It is to be further emphasized that the indissolubility, unity, and indivisibility of our beloved country is sacred.”
Kanu had resurfaced last week in Jerusalem, praying at the Wailing Wall before his live broadcast.
