This claim is incorrect and appears intended to cast the Service in bad light as well as steer public tension.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Favour Dozie<br \/>\nDeputy Director<br \/>\nPublic Relations and Strategic Communications.<br \/>\nNational Headquarters, State Services<br \/>\nAbuja.<br \/>\nNovember 26, 2025<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of State Services (DSS) has noted, with dismay, a false and misleading Facebook Post alleging that, it arrested Evangelist Ukpo Daniel for raising a false alarm in a&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":119052,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-124074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
