The Department of State Services (DSS) has denied the reports making the rounds that it is in a fight with the EFCC and that it barricaded the EFCC from entering its Lagos office.
The DSS in a statement issued by Peter Afunanya,
Public Relations Officer
Department of State Services on Tuesday, said the reports were far from the truth.
There was a report on social media yesterday that the DSS stormed Lagos EFCC office and took over the office and blocked the officials of EFCC from accessing the building.
Afunanya said; “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”
