At a world press conference held in Abuja today, the Akwa Ibom Lawyers Forum in Abuja has strongly condemned the incessant attacks on the Department of State Services (DSS) by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for carrying out its statutory responsibilities.
The body stated that contrary to insinuations by the PDP that the DSS is being partisan, the fact of the matter is that DSS gained entrance into a lodge in the Akwa Ibom State Government House following intelligence report and that the DSS has a duty to investigate and prevent the commission of crime in any place in Nigeria.
Mr. Leo Ekpenyong the Chairman of the body while speaking to the media urged the DSS to expedite investigation into the incriminating items allegedly recovered during the operation and bring those found culpable to justice. He also commended the Director General of the DSS for his courage and professionalism.
