The Department of State Services (DSS) has denied the news report by saharareporters that it tortured Sa’idu Afaka, the President’s official driver to death.
The service in a statement by its Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunanya said the driver was never arrested or detained by the Service.
The service further stated that it was a known fact that “it does not torture suspects,” adding that its suspect handling method was usually in compliance with the tenets of criminal justice administration system and democracy.
The service also added that the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, had on 6th April, 2021 announced the passing of Afaka after a prolonged illness as well as the condolences of the President to his family.
The public should, therefore, disregard the fake news spewed by the online platform, it stated.
