The Department of State Services says it will sanction its personnel for negligence over the security breach in the futile attempt made by one Mohammed Guddare to have unauthorised handshake with President Muhammadu Buhari.

Dr Peter Afunanya, the Public Relations Officer of the service disclosed this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja. “The service has reviewed the video of the incident and is taking measures against its personnel found to have been negligent in their duties,” he said.
