Tinubu Orders DSS To Immediately Vacate EFCC’s Office
President Bola Tinubu has ordered the Department of State Security Services (DSS) to immediately vacate the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Ikoyi, Lagos.
DSS officials stormed the EFCC Ikoyi office, stopping officials from accessing their workplace. Gunshots were also heard in the area.
But Tinubu in a statement by his media aide Tunde Rahman, called on the DSS to quit the premises.
“The President said if there were issues between the two important agencies of government, they would be resolved amicably,” the short statement read.
The DSS had stormed the premises, claiming ownership of the building.
“It is not correct that the DSS barricaded EFCC from entering its office. No. It is not true,” the DSS said in a statement. “The Service is only occupying its own facility where it is carrying out its official and statutory responsibility.”
