The Department of State Services (DSS) has said that the late official driver to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr. Sa’idu Afaka, was not detained or tortured by the service before his death.
A statement by Dr. Peter Afunanya, the DSS Public Relations Officer on Thursday in Abuja, said that reports in some section of the media that the department tortured the late driver to death was misleading information.
Afunanya said the driver was never arrested nor detained by the department.
