DSS denies abducting Ijaw youth leader Igbifa

Following the controversy over the alleged abduction of the president of Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), Comrade Timothy Igbifa, the Department of State Services (DSS), has made some clarifications.

According to report that the secret service denied involvement in the alleged abduction of Igbifa by suspected masked men.

VAM News gathered that some reports claimed that masked men suspected to be operatives of the DSS on Tuesday, May 25, allegedly whisked away Comrade Igbifa.

The spokesperson of DSS, Dr. Peter Afunanya, however, described the report as untrue and false.

He said: “The DSS has nothing to do with the alleged arrest or whisking away of President of Ijaw Youth Council, Comrade Peter Timothy Igbifa by suspected masked men.”

Igbifa was billed to lead a protest in Abuja following the expiration of a one-week ultimatum his group issued to the federal government to reconstitute the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

Igbifa had earlier issued an advisory to all staff of multinational oil companies in the Niger Delta to vacate the region until the board of NDDC is inaugurated.
