DSS slams Mailafia over recent claims on alleged links of northern elites to Bokoharam
The Department of State Services has described as fake news, the allegation made by a former deputy governor of Central Bank, CBN, Dr Obadiah Mailafia, that a certain northern governor is a commander of Boko Haram terrorist group.
A statement by its spokesman Peter Afunanya,
says it was disappointed that the eminent economist failed to leverage on his
unhindered access to many government platforms to share his security concerns
before sharing it with the public.
DSS says Mailafia supposed
claims was to incite the people under his control.
The service implores law abiding citizens to go about their normal businesses
without fear, assuring them of protection by strengthening existing measures
designed to achieve this objective.
