The State Security Service on Tuesday warned the public to desist from engaging its disgraced former director-general, Lawal Daura, on its behalf.
The State Security said it has been inundated with insinuations that Mr Daura still wields influence in its internal affairs, months after he was fired from office.
SSS said it was aware of the “false” speculation, and warned people to shun any involvement with Mr Daura on its behalf.
While the Service debunks this false belief, it warns that any person or group that further engages him or his representatives/associates does so at their own peril,” SSS spokesperson Peter Afunanya said in a statement.
“The Service will not tolerate acts of impersonation designed to undermine it and will decisively deal with person(s), no matter how highly placed, that may engage in such behaviour.
“The public should, therefore, note this and avoid circumstances under which unsuspecting persons may be,” Afunanya said.
