President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has issued a directive to the Department of State Service (DSS) to evacuate the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) office in Ikoyi, Lagos.
This was disclosed in a statement by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, on Tuesday, May 30, 2023.
The statement reads, “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 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.”
Blueprint had reported that chaos ensued in the vicinity of the EFCC premises as DSS personnel allegedly blocked entry to the office area, sparking a dispute over the building’s ownership.
