Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) a.k.a Shi’ites leader, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky has been exposed by the Department of State Services (DSS).

El-Zakzaky alleged that the DSS diverted a N4 million monthly allowance meant for him and his wife while they were detained and he personally took care of their own feeding and utilities during the period.

However, DSS spokesman Dr. Peter Afunanya said;

“This is a complete falsehood spread by someone desirous of maligning a noble organisation like the DSS. The service is completely guided by the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) which governs its suspect handling rules…”

“El-Zakzaky is talking tongue in cheek. It is unfortunate someone like him chose to lie. Possible he lost complete memory about the facts and the truth.”

“The DSS doesn’t maltreat suspects. While in India years back, he chose or preferred to be returned to the DSS custody. Why? Because, according to him, he had better treatment. So, we will ignore him.”

“Those who have issues before the court should face their cases and stop blaming the DSS. We respect the laws and will always be governed by the principles of rule of law.”

“The DGSS, Alhaji Yusuf Magaji Bichi, is a democrat who respects rules of engagement and democracy.”
