Eko Hot Blog reports that The Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC) has debunked a news report that the Department of States Services (DSS) invaded it’s Lagos office and carted away files Implicating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his aides.

In a press statement released on Saturday, titled “A REBUTTAL ON SAHARA REPORTERS’ NEWS REPORT TITLED “SECRET POLICE, DSS CARTS AWAY FILES IMPLICATING PRESIDENT TINUBU, CLOSE AIDES FROM ICPC, CCB”, the Anti-graft agency described the news story as “imaginary and unfounded.”

The statement reads “The attention of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has been drawn to a spurious news report by online medium, Saharareporters titled “Secret Police, DSS Carts Away Files Implicating President Buhari, Close Aides from ICPC, CCB”.

“The Commission hereby refute the report by Saharareporters and state unequivocally that there were no files implicating President Tinubu or close aides at its headquarters or offices across the states and therefore the alleged carting away of such imaginary files is unfounded and should be disregarded by the public.”

The agency through it’s Spokesperson, Mrs. Azuka Ogugua thereby charged media organization to avoid being used to propagate fake News by subversive agents.

“For the umpteenth time, the Commission wishes to urge media organisations not to allow the use of their medium to propagate lies and unfounded reports by subversive agents. The Commission’s channels of communications remain open for clarification and confirmation.”
