UNCOVERS PLOT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT
Groups planning to stage campaigns of calumny against the Government over the suspension and investigation of Godwin Emefiele, the detained former CBN governor has been warned to desist forthwith to allow full investigation into his alleged misconduct during office.
A statement by the Department of State Services (DSS) Public Relations Officer Dr. Peter Afunanya 17th June 2023 disclosed that these plotters intending to stage protests in the coming week at different points in Abuja and Lagos are already under watch and will be apprehended when necessary.
Dr. Peter noted that the service has been transparent since the arrest of the former CBN governor with granted access to the family and friends.
“The Service implements Standard Operating Procedures on Suspect Handling and Investigation to the latter. It conducts its affairs transparently, and professionally and respects the rule of law in compliance with democratic governance.
“The Service is, therefore, aware of 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 social media by uninformed parties, critics, and/or desperadoes. It is mindful of orchestrations to infiltrate its fold to use disloyal staff for subversive aims against its leadership. While these efforts are considered hatchet jobs designed to distract, the Service warns the plotters to desist forthwith from their plans. “This is more so that the arrowheads are already under watch and will be apprehended when and if it becomes necessary.” It revealed these groups will be seen carrying placards depicting the Service and Government in a bad light as well as calling for the immediate release of Emefiele.
