BREAKING: “Its False” – DSS reacts to alleged fight with EFCC, makes revelation
The Department of State Security Services, DSS, has reacted to reports of an alleged bust-up with operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC in Lagos.
It was widely reported on Tuesday that operatives of the DSS stormed the Lagos office of the commission and blocked EFCC officials from gaining access to the building.
Reacting to the development in a statement sent to Our reporter, the agency debunked the report, stating that such an incident never happened.
The statement signed by the spokesperson of the service, Peter Afunanya(PhD), read;
“It is not correct that the DSS barricaded Efcc from entering its office. No. It is not true. The Service is only occupying its own facility where it is carrying out its official and statutory responsibility.”
“By the way, there is no controversy over No 15A Awolowo Road as being insinuated by the Media. Did the efcc tell you it is contesting the ownership of the building? I will be surprised if it is contesting the ownership. Awolowo Road was NSO headquarters. SSS/DSS started from there. It is a common knowledge. It is a historical fact. Check it out.”
“There is no rivalry between the Service and the EFCC over and about anything. Please do not create any imaginary one. They are great partners working for the good of the nation. Dismiss any falsehood of a fight
