The Department of State Security Services (DSS), has been ordered to vacate the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), in Ikoyi, Lagos, by President Bola Tinubu.
In the early hours of Tuesday, the DSS officials invaded the premises of the EFCC Ikoyi office stopping the officials from accessing their workplace.
But in a statement on Tuesday by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, the President ordered the DSS to quit the premises immidiately.
“The President said if there were issues between the two important agencies of government, they would be resolved amicably,” the short statement read.
Below is the full statement.
