The Department of State Services (DSS) has debunked rumour making round that the late official driver to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr Sa’idu Afaka, was detained or tortured by the service before his death.
A statement by Dr Peter Afunanya, DSS Public Relations Officer on Thursday in Abuja, said that reports in some section of the media that the department tortured the late driver to death was misleading information.
Afunanya said the driver was never arrested nor detained by the department.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, on April 6 announced the death of Afaka.
Shehu said the late driver died after a prolonged illness and extended the condolences of the President to his family.
