BREAKING! Emefiele: DSS Uncovers Planned Campaign Against Tinubu’s Government

The Department of State Services (DSS) on Saturday said it has identified persons and groups planning to stage campaigns of calumny against it and the government over the suspension and investigation of Godwin Emefiele.

Emefiele was suspended by President Bola Tinubu as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), with the DSS arresting him after the suspension for investigation.

DSS, in a statement issued by its spokesman, Peter Afunanya, said such groups intended to gather at different points in Abuja and Lagos in the coming week with placards depicting the Service and the government in bad light as well as calling for the immediate release of Emefiele.

“The Service is, therefore, aware of a cheap propaganda aimed at demotivating and distracting it from professionally executing the onerous responsibilities assigned to it.

“It has also noted the misleading commentaries, speculative narratives, storylines and videos being circulated in the social media by uninformed parties, critics and/or desperadoes. It is mindful of orchestrations to infiltrate its fold for the purpose of using disloyal staff for subversive aims against its leadership.

“While these efforts are considered as hatchet jobs designed to distract, the Service warns the plotters to desist forthwith from their plans. This is more so that the arrow heads are already under watch and will be apprehended when and if it becomes necessary,” it stated.
