According to THE GUARDIAN NIGERIA, the Department of State Services (DSS) has denied any involvement in the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), in Kenya, asserting that its mandate does not extend beyond Nigeria’s borders.
This declaration came during the cross-examination of a DSS intelligence officer—identified in court as BBB—who served as a prosecution witness in Kanu’s terrorism trial.
During his testimony, the DSS officer affirmed that the agency had no role in Kanu’s controversial return from Kenya, stating, “We are a domestic agency. If he was arrested in Kenya, the DSS is not responsible.”
