The Department of States Security Service (DSS) has denied allegations that some of its operatives raided the headquarters of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) in Abuja.
The DSS stated that it did not instruct any of its operatives to take such action, nor did any of its operatives invade the Labour House in Abuja.
This was made known in a terse statement issued on Thursday by the Spokesperson for the Service, Peter Afunanya.
“Good morning dear friends. Pls kindly note that the Service (DSS) did not carry out any operation at the NLC office in Abuja,” Afunanya said.
The New Diplomat reports that this is coming amidst Wednesday’s allegations by NLC that the DSS had sent armed men to its office and that they had carted away some documents.
According to the union, the operatives stormed the Labour House around 8:30 pm.
“They broke in and ransacked the bookshop on the 2nd floor carting away hundreds of books and other publications,” said a statement by the NLC’s head of Media and Public Relations, Benson Upah.
“The invading troop claimed that they were looking for seditious materials used for the #EndBadGoveranance Protests.”
