Two operatives of the Department of State Service, DSS, have dragged the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP, before a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, for allegedly making false allegations against them.
Besides seeking a public apology, the security agents are demanding the sum of N5 billion as damages suffered as a result of SERAP 's alleged false publication. In the suit marked CV/4547/2024 and filed on October 17 by their team of lawyers led by Akinlolu Kehinde, SAN, the operatives alleged that SERAP had, in a post on its X handle brought them and the DSS to ridicule when they accused them of invading and interrogating some staff members at their Abuja office.
'Several attempts have been made by members of the public to identify the claimants as the tall, large, dark-skinned woman and the slim, dark-skinned man,' the deponent said. They further claimed that SERAP's statements caused harm to their reputation because the staff and management of the DSS have formed the opinion that the claimants did not follow orders and carried out an unsanctioned operation.
