The Department of State Services (DSS) on Saturday dismissed reports making the rounds that presidential details killed the intruder that tried to break the security cordon to attack President Muhammadu Buhari at Argungu, Kebbi State, on March 12, 2020.
According to statement signed by Peter Afunanya, DSS Public Relations Officer (PRO), National Headquarters, Abuja, and made available to The NEXT EDITION in Lagos, one Mohammed Jammil Guddare, made overzealous, but futile attempt to have an unauthorised handshake with the president, thus breaching security protocols.

“He was, however, stopped by security details and arrested for thorough investigation. Preliminary investigation revealed that he is not a hostile person, but an overzealous enthusiast of the president.
“The service has reviewed the video of the incident and is taking measures against its personnel found to have been negligent in their duties,” Afunanya said.
