Ignore Fake News Peddlers, We Didn’t Disperse Doctors – DSS

Nigeria’s secret Police, the DSS, said their attention have once again been drawn to a falsehood being circulated in the media that they dispersed doctors attending a Saudi Arabia organised job interview at the Sheraton Hotel, Abuja, on 26th August, 2021.

Debunking the reports, their spokesman said, “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 an operation at the hotel. 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.”
