An official says the driver was never arrested nor detained by the department.
The State Security
Service (SSS) has said the late official driver to President Muhammadu Buhari,
Sa’idu Afaka, was not detained or tortured by the service before his death.
A statement by Peter
Afunanya, SSS Public Relations Officer on Thursday in Abuja, said reports in
some section of the media that the department tortured the late driver to death
was a misleading information.
Mr Afunanya said the
driver was never arrested nor detained by the department.
According to him,
suspect handling method is usually in compliance with the tenets of criminal
justice administration system and democracy.
The spokesman,
therefore, urged the public to disregard the fake news trending in online
platform.
The News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the Senior Special Assistant to the President on
Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, on April 6 announced the death of Mr Afaka.
Mr Shehu said the late
driver died after a prolonged illness and extended the condolences of the
president to his family.
