Director of Department of State Services (DSS) of the FCT Command, Alhaji Ado Muazu has pledged support to Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) FCT Council in its fight against fake journalists operating in the territory.
Muazu made this known Thursday in Abuja when the NUJ FCT Executives led by Chairman of Council, Comrade Emmanuel Ogbeche paid him a courtesy.
Muazu who was represented by the Command’s Deputy Director for Security Enforcement, Mr. Musa Mohammed said the command will partner with council to promote peaceful co-existence among peoples.
He said the collaboration was vital given the fact that the country belong to us all and there was need for all stakeholders to work together at all time to promote peace and national security.
Muazu informed that command will work with council to get the populace truly informed on security matters.
He advised newsmen to always cross check their story source for balance and in order not to lose credibility.
Muazu said they have been engaging in inter-agency collaboration with the FCT Minister’s support and encouragement.
Speaking earlier, Chairman of Council, Emmanuel Ogbeche said the council found it imperative to collaborate with DSS given the fact that the command is critical to nation’s growth and development as nothing will thrive in a state of insecurity.
He however, solicited the support of the command in war against fake journalists; fake news and hate speech which he said were most pronounced during elections.
