DSS denies shooting man at Lagos filling station

The Department of State Services has countered claims of its operatives shooting someone at a filling station in Lagos.

It was alleged that one Toheeb Eniafe was reportedly shot and killed by security operatives in an incident at a filling station belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited at Obalende in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State on Thursday, May 1. 

Countering the claim, the DSS said; 

“The story that two DSS staff allegedly fired at a member of the public in a filling station and were also attacked by an angry mob in Obalende area of Lagos is NOT TRUE. The Police PRO in Lagos may be contacted for further enquiries on the incident, please.”
