Adelani Adepegba, AbujaThe Department of State Services has denied the allegation by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria that its official slapped an airport worker. The aviation agency in a tweet said that during the incident which took place on July 17, Abba slapped the aviation security officer. “We note with dismay that Safiyanu Abba, the head of DSS at NAIA, deliberately obstructed airport security process, and slapped an aviation security officer who was performing his duty,” the tweet read. But the DSS in its statement said it prioritised good conduct among members of its staff. “DSS personnel are well mannered and could not have slapped or fought a worker of another agency.”
