Department of State Services (DSS) has debunked media reports that it dispersed doctors at Sheraton hotel, Abuja.
Gatekeepers News reports that the DSS says it did not disperse doctors attending a Saudi Arabia organised job interview at the Sheraton Hotel, Abuja on Thursday, August 26, 2021.
The agency’s Spokesman, Peter Afunanya in a statement signed on Friday, described the news as false.
Afunanya said though this is illogical and does not add up, a section of the media (not Gatekeepers News) reported it. According to him, they “did not care to verify the news before going to print.”
He noted that no further evidence was also adduced to prove that the DSS carried out such an operation at the hotel.
The statement read further, “it is obvious that the news is only designed to embarrass the Organisation.”
DSS, therefore, enjoined the journalists and other media practitioners to crosscheck their facts and ensure that they do not use their platforms to mislead the public or undermine national security.
