The Department of State Services (DSS) says it will not shirk its responsibilities or allow detractors to prevent it from undertaking its statutory duties or carry out lawful orders by constituted authorities.
The Public Relations Officer of the Service, Dr Peter Afunanya, said this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
He said the Service would remain focused, resilient, patriotic and professional in the conduct of its affairs.
Afunanya said the clarification followed false reports in sections of the online media that had variously and wrongly fed the public with misleading narratives and accusations against DSS.
According to him, apart from the online reports, there have been other variants of unsubstantiated and anonymous petitions flying around against the DGSS, his family and some officials.
He said the Service would not have responded to the inaccuracies but for the fickle minded and vulnerable persons as well as the unsuspecting public that might take the lies for facts.
