…Says arrowheads of Emefiele project under watch, will be dealt with
The Department of State Services (DSS) has warned the allies of suspended Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Mr Gowin Emefiele, over their plans to cause disaffection in the country and distract the Federal Government from taking necessary action against Emefiele.
The DSS further disclosed that it has identified persons and groups planning to stage campaigns of calumny against it and the Federal Government over the suspension and investigation of Emefiele.
The Public Relations Officer of the DSS, Mr Peter Afunanya, stated this in a statement made available to TheIdeal News in Abuja on Saturday.
It added that it is ready to deal decisively with anybody or groups of people who are planning to foment trouble because of Emefiele.
The DSS further reminded the supporters and allies of the suspended CBN boss that the arrowheads of Emefiele project are already under watch and will be apprehended when and if it becomes necessary.
The statement reads in part, “ Such groups intend to gather at different points in Abuja and Lagos in the coming week with placards depicting the Service and the Federal 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 is instructive to state that the Service had granted the family of Emefiele, medical officials and appropriate persons access to him, right from the day he was taken in and long before the court order requesting so.
“The Service implements Standard Operating Procedures on Suspect Handling and Investigation to the latter. It conducts its affairs transparently, professionally and respects the rule of law in compliance with democratic governance.
“For the avoidance of doubt, it assures of its professionalism in the current matter(s) under its purview. It will, however, not be distracted or intimidated”.
