National Assembly management has debunked a purported report of an alleged invasion by the Department of State Services (DSS).
A statement early Thursday morning signed by the Director, Information, National Assembly, Agada Rawlings Emmanuel stated that, a video of the purported siege by the DSS was mischievous and unfounded.
It stated, “The attention of the National Assembly management has been drawn to an unverified video trending on social media tweeted from the twitter handle account of one @Chukwuebuka, alleging the siege of the National Assembly complex by officer’s of the Department of State Security (DSS).
“The reposted unverified video clips was a reported incident that took place in 2018 at the main entrance gate leading into the National Assembly complex, which is presently under reconstruction near it’s completion for Commissioning.
“It is therefore intriguing to understand what motive this mischief marker set out to achieve with the repost, gauging the political mood of the country and the fourth coming general elections”.
The management therefore called on members of the National Assembly, Staff and the general public to discountenance the said unverified malicious, mischievous and misleading reposted video as fake news in its entirety.
