THE altercation between a Police Corporal and an operative of the Department of State Service DSS in Ogun State; leading to the shooting to death of the former has continued to generate discomfiture amongst stakeholders and sister agencies with the DSS assuring that justice would be done to the matter. A statement signed by Peter Afunanya of the Public affairs department, national headquarters Abuja and made available to CrimeWorld magazine online said both the Police and the DSS were already investigating the incident with a view to serving justice to the matter. He therefore, urged the media and other stakeholders to exercise restraints even as the inquest had begun in earnest. The rather terse statement reads in full: ‘The attention of the Department of State Services (DSS) has been drawn to the incident that led to the death of a Police Corporal in Osun State. Consequently, the Service and the Police are jointly investigating the matter. The public should be rest assured that it will not condone any acts of indiscipline or injustice. It therefore calls on the media and other stakeholders to exercise patience and await the outcome of the investigations.”
