DSS Shoots Tailor Sales Girl Over Undelivered Clothes
On the evening of Sept. 7, 2023, A lady called some DSS personnel to arrest her tailor who didn’t deliver her clothes.
They came and not only shot him (tailor) but a stray bullet hit an innocent sales girl sitting at her shop.
Speaking with an eye-witness, who is a trader beside the tailor shop, she said some of the fashion designer’s colleagues, who learnt about the incident, intervened but their interference did not go down well with the DSS operative.
She added that a female customer of the fashion designer brought the DSS. She said the fashion designer did not sew her clothes. Her colleagues joined and defended her. The issue led to a serious argument.
We later heard a gunshot and learnt that the fashion designer had been shot and another injured. The DSS operative was arrested and detained at Wuse Market Police Station. That is where all our people are now,” the trader said.

The actions of the DSS personnel angered the marketers, who attempted to block them from leaving the market. The personnel quickly fled, while the marketers pelted their vehicle with stones.
However, in a statement on Thursday, the spokesperson for the DSS, Peter Afunanya, said the secret police was investigating the matter.
According to the statement, Department of State Services has been drawn to an incident that occurred a few hours ago between its staff and a mob at the Garki Market, Abuja. Information at the disposal of the Service was that its FCT Command responded to an SOS from their field operatives who allegedly came under a mob attack in the said market.
