Military, security agencies addressing threats to national security – DSS

The Department of State Services (DSS), has assured of renewed
synergy among the military and security agencies, to deal with
threats to peace in the country.

While assuring that “there is peace in Nigeria”, the DSS urged
purveyors of fake news to stop using the social media, or any other
platform, to create panic as well as instill fear in the minds of
the public.

It further stated that “effective partnership” among security
agencies, was the new paradigm for securing the country”.

According to the secret service, the security challenges in the
country are not as bad as some persons have tried to project in
their narratives.

A spokesperson for the DSS, Dr. Peter Afunanya, who stated the
position in a broadcast sent to New Telegraph on Thursday, assured
of the Director-General, Alhaji Yusuf Bichi’s untiring commitment
towards prosecuting the mandate of the Service to the letter.

“The Department of State Services (DSS), Nigeria’s foremost
intelligence and security agency, (is) charged with the detection
and prevention of crimes and threats against the internal security
of Nigeria.

The organisation is really under the command and direction of
its Director-General, Alhaji Yusuf Magaji Bichi.

“There is peace in Nigeria, there is unity, things are not as
bad as people would want to project them.

“Yes, there are challenges, but it is not to the extent that
some people would create narratives that are out of place.

“People would want to use the social media to create divisions,
to instill fear in the civil populace,” Dr. Afunanya said.
