The Department of State Services has dismissed as false an online publication credited to one Adio Oluwole Bashir, purported to be a former staff of the Secret Police.
Bashir claimed to have led the team that arrested suspected killers of David Imoh, a Sound Engineer allegedly murdered on May 12, 2022 in Lekki, Lagos State.
Consequently, the Service stated that Bashir is neither a serving nor retired staff on its roll, adding that his writing style and use of paraphernalia gave him out as fake and an impostor.
The agency said findings have revealed that the accused’s aim was to ignite an ethno-religious conflict, while his co-conspirators are elements of separatist groups who are desirous of achieving the same objective as well as pitting security agencies against one another.

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Command has issued an unambiguous statement on the entire episode.
The DSS stressed the Command’s clarification should guide public understanding of what actually transpired, insisting that dragging the service, which never participated in the operation at Lekki, into his skewed account exposes the lies and intentions of Bashir and his cohorts.
The DSS declared the write-up as completely false, frowning at the calculated effort to use its name for malicious purposes, thus directing the public to “disregard the misleading narrative”.
“The Service also warns those bent on throwing the country into violence to retrace their steps and give peace a chance. While it reaffirms its commitment to continue to work with sisters’ agencies to ensure lasting peace in the country, it will also not hesitate to bring to book those determined to break the law,” the DSS stated.
