President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the Department of State Security Service, DSS, to immediately vacate the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The president gave the order when reports that DSS officials stormed the EFCC office located on Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos on Tuesday, preventing officials of the anti-graft agency from accessing their work place, was brought to his attention.
The president said if there were issues between the two important agencies of government, they would be resolved amicably.
The DSS was reported to have claimed that the office belonged to it and not the EFCC.
The spokesman of the security agency, Dr. Peter Afunanya, had said earlier in the day that the “The Service is only occupying its own facility where it is carrying out its official and statutory responsibility.”
