DSS Uncovers Plan To Blackmail FG Over Emefiele’s Suspension, Investigation

The Department of Services (DSS) has informed the general public about the plans of some persons and groups to blackmail it and the Federal Government over the ongoing investigation of Godwin Emefiele following his suspension as the governor of the Central Bank Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The Service said it uncovered the planned campaigns aimed at demotivating and distracting it from executing the onerous responsibilities assigned to it.

In a statement by the Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunanya PhD, on the evening of Saturday, June 17, 2013, the secret police warned that the hatchet jobs will manifest in the form of protests at different points in Abuja and Lagos in the coming week.

Afunanya noted that such actions aim to put the government in a bad light as well as demanding an immediate release of the embattled Emefiele.

“The Department of State Services (DSS) has identified persons and groups planning to stage campaigns of calumny against it and the Government over the suspension and investigation of Mr Godwin Emefiele.

“Such groups intend to gather at different points in Abuja and Lagos in the coming week with placards depicting the Service and 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,” the statement read in part.
