Tinubu orders DSS to vacate EFCC office in Lagos

Bola Tinubu, president of Nigeria, has asked the Department of State Services (DSS) to vacate the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Ikoyi, Lagos, immediately.

He said if there were issues between the “two important agencies of government”, they would be resolved amicably, according to a statement by the State House.

“The President gave the directive 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 workplace, was brought to his attention,” the statement reads.

Recall that there was a standoff yesterday as officials of the DSS prevented personnel of the EFCC in Lagos from accessing their Ikoyi office.

The DSS officials were said to have been stationed at the office of the EFCC located at Awolowo road, Ikoyi, Lagos, on Tuesday morning.
