Tinubu asks DSS to immediately vacate EFCC’s office
President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday ordered the Department of State Security Services (DSS) to immediately vacate the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The President directive was contained in a statement issued by Tunde Rahman on Tuesday.
According to the statement, “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 work place, was brought to his attention.
Recall that the DSS was preventing officials of the EFCC from gaining access to their office in Ikoyi, Lagos.
A source whose identity was not disclosed told Premium Times that DSS blocked the whole building and placed an armoured tank at the front of the building. “They even placed an armoured tank just to scare us away”, the source was reported to have said.
Both agencies according to reports, have been in loggerhead with each other over the ownership of the building.
As of the time of this report, all the EFCC officials at the office in Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, were prevented from accessing the building by SSS officials.
