The Department of State Services (DSS) said on Sunday that the outcome of the investigation on Tukur Mamu, who negotiated the release of some of the train passengers abducted in March, is mind-boggling.
Recall that Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, had accused DSS of terrorizing Mamu.
But reacting, the secret police said it will not be distracted.
Gumi had challenged the DSS to either release Mamu, who is his media consultant, or charge him to court immediately as prescribed by law.
But in a statement, the spokesman of the secret police, Peter Afunanya, said the DSS should be left alone to carry out its duty.
The statement read, ”The Department of State Services (DSS) has followed, with keen observation, overzealous comments by sections of the public in view of issues relating to the arrest and investigation of Tukur Mamu.”
”The Service wishes that it is not distracted with some of the skewed narratives pervading the media space.
”Instead, it requests to be left alone to concentrate on the ongoing investigations, the outcomes of which have remained mind-boggling.
”Meanwhile, the Service will cease further comments on the subject matter since the Court will determine its course.
”Consequently, the public is hereby enjoined to desist from making unguarded utterances and await the court proceedings.”
