APC to DSS: Tell Nigerians what you found after invading our data centre

Abuja—The All Progressives Congress, APC, has challenged the Department of State Security, DSS to immediately tell Nigerians the outcome of its investigations into the allegation of Permanent Voters Cards, PVC cloning that forced the security agency to unlawfully invade the party’s offices in Lagos over a week ago.

In a statement issued in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said if no evidence of PVC cloning was found, the DSS should apologize to Nigerians for acting on the basis of faulty intelligence.

It said any further delay in telling Nigerians the outcome of the investigations, after almost 10 days, could mean that the DSS is trying to manufacture evidence to support its faulty intelligence.

‘’Without carrying out any investigation and with no shred of evidence, the DSS gleefully announced to the world that they stormed our data centre because they got information that Permanent Voters Cards were being cloned there.

‘’On the basis of this uncorroborated announcement, the PDP categorically accused the APC of cloning PVCs. It is now over a week since the DSS carted away materials and computer servers after ransacking our offices for over two hours. The agency’s experts must have analyzed the information in the materials and on the servers.

‘’Therefore, we are now asking them to immediately announce their findings to the world. After all, it took them only a few hours after their Gestapo-like invasion of our offices before they issued their baseless allegation of PVC cloning to justify their action,’’ APC said.
