The Department of State Services (DSS) says it has uncovered plot by individuals and groups to embark on campaigns against it and the Federal Government over the suspension and investigation of Godwin Emefiele.
The Spokesman for the Service, Peter Afunanya said this in a statement on Saturday.
According to the secret police, the groups are planning to gather in Abuja and Lagos this week to achieve their purpose.
“The DSS has identified persons and groups planning to stage campaigns of calumny against it and the government over the suspension and investigation of Mr Godwin Emefiele.
“Such groups intend to gather at different points in Abuja and Lagos in the coming week with placards depicting the service and government in a bad light as well as calling for the immediate release of Emefiele.
“The service is, therefore, aware of cheap propaganda aimed at de-motivating and distracting it from professionally executing the onerous responsibilities assigned to it,”
The Service also claimed to have granted the family of Emefiele, medical officials and appropriate persons access to him, right from the day he was taken in and long before the court order requesting so. .
A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja had ordered the DSS to allow Emefiele access to his lawyers and family.
The CBN governor Emefiele was arrested on June 10 after he was suspended by President Bola Tinubu over allegations of impropriety in office and the need to conduct thorough investigation.
He was immediately replaced by the Deputy Governor Operations Directorate.
