August 08, (THEWILL) – The Department of State Services (DSS) says its operatives did not raid the headquarters of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Abuja, on Wednesday.
THEWILL earlier reported that the labour union, in a statement by its Head of Media and Public Relations, Comrade Benson Upah, said the Labour House was invaded by a mix of personnel from the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services (DSS), and unidentified operatives dressed in plain clothes at about 8.30pm on Wednesday.
Upah said, “They broke in and ransacked the bookshop on the 2nd floor carting away hundreds of books and other publications. The invading troops claimed that they were looking for seditious materials used for the #EndBadGoveranance protests.”
However, DSS spokesperson, Dr. Peter Afunanya, said its personnel did not carry out any raid on the NLC office building.
“Kindly note that the Service (DSS) did not carry out any operation at the NLC office in Abuja,” Afunanya said in response to media inquiry.
