The Department of State Services (DSS) has debunked allegations that two officials of the agency were killed by bandits along the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway.

In a statement issued on Friday, DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, says the Agency lost two of its personnel in a fatal car accident.

He stated: “The incident occurred this evening at Gidan Busa Katari, along the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway. The team was heading to one of the states in the North-West zone for an operation when the Hilux vehicle in which they were travelling somersaulted. Two persons died in the accident while another was injured. He is presently receiving required attention in a medical facility.

“This clarification has become necessary in order to debunk fake news making the round that the gallant officers were attacked by bandits. The public is enjoined to disregard any contrary information.”
