The Department of State Services has said that its operatives did not make an attempt to arrest Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, on Friday.
The denial is coming a few hours after reports that a joint team of policemen and the Department of State Services attempted to arrest Sunday Igboho along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
In a viral video, Igboho, who was not putting on any top, had dared security operatives to “do their worst” before they drove off.
However, DSS Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunanya, in a statement described it as fake news.
“The Department of State Services wishes to refute the news that it attempted to arrest one Sunday Igboho, today, at Ibadan, Oyo State. The said news is misinforming and should be taken as fake and therefore be disregarded,” the statement read.
