The Department of State Services, DSS, has described as false and misleading a Facebook Post on the arrest of Evangelist Ukpo Daniel who raised a false alarm in a video claiming that Fulani herdsmen attacked a crusade in Agboda Village, Nasarawa State.
This claim is incorrect and appears intended to cast the Service in bad light as well as create public tension, the Deputy Director, Public Relations and Strategic Communications at DSS Favour Dozie has alleged.

Her statement reads: “For clarity, Evangelist Ukpo Daniel was never invited nor arrested by the DSS. His spouse, Elizabeth, who originated the Post, when contacted, confirmed that she was with him at the Police Headquarters, Lafia. Therefore, the Service views such misrepresentations in ways that could inflame tension or disrupt ongoing operations, seriously.
“Consequently, the Service advises the public to depend on verified information and communication channels to stem the spate of disinformation that may be exploited to further distort national security.”
