The Department of State Services has dismissed as false a report that two of its staff allegedly fired at a member of the public at a filling station in the Obalende area of Lagos and were subsequently attacked by an angry mob.
The DSS on its X handle on Thursday described the report as unfounded and misleading, stating that no such incident occurred.
The agency urged the public to disregard the report and seek clarification from the Lagos State Police Command for accurate information on the incident.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Lagos can be contacted for further enquiries and confirmation of the true circumstances surrounding the incident.
The statement reads, “The story that two DSS staff allegedly fired at a member of the public in a filling station and were also attacked by an angry mob in Obalende area of Lagos is NOT TRUE. The Police PRO in Lagos may be contacted for further enquiries on the incident, please.”
