The Department for State Security, DSS, has denied claims that a personnel killed the young man who was wrongfully accused of attacking the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

The man identified as Mohammed Jammil Guddare had tried to have an authorized handshake with the president which was mistaken for an attack.

A statement issued by the DSS Public Relations Officer, Dr Peter Afunanya, sees the security operative saying they only arrested the man for investigation.

“The Department of State Services wishes to dismiss reports making the rounds that presidential details killed the intruder that tried to break the security cordon to attack the President and Commander-in-Chief, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR at Argungu, Kebbi State on 12th March 2020.

“Preliminary investigation reveals that he is not a hostile person but an overzealous enthusiast of the President.

“The Service has reviewed the video of the incident and is taking measures against its personnel found to have been negligent in their duties.”
