The Department of State Services has denied speculations that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu was being maltreated in its facilities.

The Service said the allegations was against its standard of Operation Procedure on the implementation of rights of a suspect, adding that Kanu is enjoying full luxury at its custody.

The public relations officer of the Department of State Services, Dr Peter Afunanya disclosed this at a press briefing on Tuesday in Abuja.

He also urged state, federal lawmakers and other Nigerians to be vigilant at this period, warning that they are prone to assassinations and abductions among others.

He, however, said the service observed that some person seeking political power are heating up the polity and capatilising on the insecurity in the country, thereby presenting the country as ungovernable.

Afunanya warned sponsors of various criminal activities in the country to desist, saying that the the service would “crush them”.
