DSS Opens Up On Abuja Estate Raid

The Department of State Services (DSS) has finally opened up on the sting operation in an Abuja estate that led to the disruption of a terrorist plot in the Federal Capital.

The DSS while confirming the operation, however, denied the involvement of American soldiers as widely reported among the media in Nigeria.

The clarification from the DSS came as the US Embassy urged its citizens to leave Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The spokesperson of DSS, Dr Peter Afunanya, told PRNigeria that the Service did not have any joint operation with foreign troops on the Abuja estate.

“I can categorically tell you that we did not carry out any joint operation with American Soldiers as being widely reported in the media.

“Though we carried out an operation in an Abuja Estate with sister agencies, no foreign troops were involved,” the DSS official said.

Meanwhile, the United States Embassy in Nigeria has asked its American citizens to flee Abuja in its latest security alert, PRNigeria can authoritatively report.

The Embassy in a post on its website titled, “SECURITY ALERT – ORDERED THE DEPARTURE OF FAMILY MEMBERS – OCTOBER 27, 2022,” asked its citizens in Nigeria not to travel to Abuja at this time.

According to the Embassy, their Travel Advisory for Nigeria has been updated due to a heightened risk of terrorist attacks in the city.

Part of the post reads: “In addition, on October 27, 2022, the Department ordered the departure of family members of U.S. government employees from Abuja due to heightened risk of terrorist attacks, following on the October 25 authorization of departure of non-emergency U.S. government employees and family members from Abuja due to heightened risk of terrorist attacks.

“U.S. citizens should consider departing Abuja using available commercial options.”
