The Department of State Services (DSS) has stated that former Zamfara State governor, Senator Abdulaziz Yari was not arrested for allegedly refusing to pick
This is even as the DSS denied reports of storming the offices of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission and Code of Conduct Bureau to cart away certain files indicting president Bola Tinubu and his aides.
DSS spokesperson, Dr Peter Afunanya while making the clarification in a statement, said, “The Service ordinarily would not have responded to these inaccuracies but for the fickle minded and vulnerable persons as well as the unsuspecting public that may take the lies for facts. “To set the records straight, the DSS did not execute operations of any kind at the ICPC and CCB or remove files from their offices. Instructively, the two agencies have, on their own, refuted the news in widely circulated press statements.”
On Yari issue, the DSS said: “it is petty, if not laughable, to report that senator Yari was invited for refusing to pick the president’s call. This is the height of junk journalism. Yari knows why he was invited. “In fact, the Service denies all the allegations as they lack any factual basis or credibility. They are only figments of the creators’ imaginations.This is more so that the publishers in question have been noted in and outside the country for their notoriety for peddling fake news, sensational and gutter journalism. Without a modicum of proper and civilised behaviour, they indulge in character assassinations and sundry blackmail as business.
