The Department of State Services (DSS) on Tuesday denied the illegal detention of innocent Nigerians under excruciating conditions and “routinely tortured” as being alleged by a section of the Media. “The arrest and detention of suspects are procedural and undergo continuous review. “Suspect handling is a critical aspect of the Service’s responsibility and this is taken seriously without any form of compromise. “It is, however, important to state that suspects in the Service’s detention are not ‘routinely tortured’. Such accusation by the Punch or any other media outfit for that matter is only imaginary and creation of the concerned newspapers.
