In a statement signed by the spokesperson of DSS, Peter Afunanya, it refuted the assumptions that the service is in court with Yakubu, over alleged non-declaration of assets. “Another is a determination to overheat the polity and subtly exploit the judiciary to distract or even undermine not only the Service but also other security and law enforcement agencies from undertaking their constitutional roles.”
