DSS DID NOT DISPERSE DOCTORS AT SHERATON HOTEL, ABUJA

  • August 27, 2021
    Press Release


The attention of the Department of State Services has once again been drawn to a falsehood being circulated in the media that it dispersed doctors attending a Saudi Arabia organised  job interview at the Sheraton Hotel, Abuja, yesterday 26th August,  2021. 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. 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.
