DSS Not Empowered By Law To Arrest, Says Babalola.

Renowned legal practitioner and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria , Mr Afe Babalola, says the Department of State Service is not empowered by law to arrest.

“The DSS duty in law is merely to gather information and give it to the President and all that. They are not to arrest,” he said. Although the agency defended its action blaming it on intelligence that some judges stashed larges sums of currencies in their homes, the development however received condemnation from prominent Nigerians and groups, including the opposition Peoples Democratic Party .
