According to the spokesman for the Department, Dr Peter Afunanya, the accident occurred on September 27 on Abuja-Kaduna expressway.

 

“The Department of State Services (DSS) lost two of its personnel in a fatal car accident.

 

“The incident occurred this evening at Gidan Busa Katari, along the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway.
