President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has swiftly intervened in a recent clash between the Department of State Service (DSS) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The President issued a directive to the DSS, instructing them to vacate the EFCC office situated in Ikoyi, Lagos, according to a statement released by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, earlier today.
The controversy arose when reports emerged that DSS officials had stormed the EFCC premises on Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, barring EFCC personnel from entering their workplace.
President Tinubu, upon being informed of the incident, promptly expressed his concern and directed the DSS to resolve the matter peacefully.
“President Bola Tinubu has directed the Department of State Security Service to immediately vacate the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Ikoyi, Lagos,“ the statement read.
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 President said if there were issues between the two important agencies of government, they would be resolved amicably.”
