SSS Denies Dispersing Doctors Attending Saudi Arabian Job Interview

The Department of State Services (DSS), has denied reports
making the rounds that its personnel dispersed doctors attending a
Saudi Arabia organized job interview at the Sheraton Hotel, in
Abuja.

It said there was true in the report and that those circulating
the lies were out to embarrass the Organization and nothing
more.

DSS Public Relations Officer Peter Afunanya, who made this known
called on Journalists and other media practitioners to always
crosscheck their facts and ensure that they do not use their
platforms to mislead the public or undermine national security.

Afunaya in a statement said “The attention of the Department of
State Services has once again been drawn to a falsehood being
circulated in the media that it dispersed doctors attending a Saudi
Arabia organised job interview at the Sheraton Hotel, Abuja,
yesterday 26th August, 2021.

Though this is illogical and does not add up, sections of the
media that reported it did not care to verify the news before going
to print.

No further evidence was also adduced to prove that the DSS
carried out such an operation at the hotel.

It is obvious that the news is only designed to embarrass the
Organisation. Journalists and other media practitioners are
enjoined to crosscheck their facts and ensure that they do not use
their platforms to mislead the public or undermine national
security”.
