@christv_4: DSS STATEMENT ON ATIKU'S ALLEGATIONS IN SOKOTO The attention of the DG Department of State Services (DSS) has been been drawn to allegation by elder statesman and ADC presidential candidate, Alhaji ATIKU ABUBAKAR that, DSS is organizing protests in Sokoto State. For the Records, DSS Operatives deployed to Sokoto ADC Governorship Candidate; Mannir DANIYA, evacuated him to safety unhurt on 31st October 2026 when attacked in Sokoto. Two (2) DSS operatives were assaulted during the incident and are still being treated in the hospital. The governorship candidate called personally to appreciate the State Director of Sokoto Command and even requested for reinforcement from the DSS. Recall also that, on 2nd March 2026, the Service arrested Monday Udeme Steven in Rivers State, for threatening to attack Peter OBI, NDC Presidential Candidate. He was prosecuted by the Service in a Rivers Federal High Court, and sentenced to two (2) years in prison. Though these operations to protect all Political Parties is at variance with the elder statesman's allegation and tend to demoralized our gallant operatives who are risking their lives in the line of duty, the DGDSS has still ordered an investigation into the allegation in deference to the elder statesman. The Service also use this medium to reference a similar allegation by AAC Presidential Candidate Omoyele SOWORE that, the Service was involved in an attack on him in Ekiti State. In this regard, we thank the Police for swift investigation and a preliminary Report on the cause of the incident; altercation coupled with the arrest of eleven (11) suspects. We await the outcome of Police investigation and will not dissipate energy on the matter. The Service will continue to remain accountable under the present DG. #DSS #AtikuAbubakar #ADC #SokotoState #MannirDaniya
