The Department of State Services has described as ploy to embarrass the Organisation, media report that doctors attending a Saudi Arabia organised job interview at the Sheraton Hotel, Abuja, yesterday 26th August, 2021 were dispersed by it’s personnel.
Dr Peter Afunanya, Public Relations Officer, Department of State Services National Headquarters, in a statement further said it is false.
According to him “Though this is illogical and does not add up, sections of the media that reported it did not care to verify the news before going to print. No further evidence was also adduced to prove that the DSS carried out such operation at the hotel.
The PRO urged media practitioners to cross check their facts to avoid misleading the public.
“It is obvious that the news is only designed to embarrass the Organisation. Journalists and other media practitioners are enjoined to crosscheck their facts and ensure that they do not use their platforms to mislead the public or undermine national security.”
