BREAKING: Acting Pres. Osinbajo Meets With Magu, New Acting DSS DG

ABUJA: Acting President Professor Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday met with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) boss, Ibrahim Magu, and the new acting Director-General of the Department of State Services, Mattew Seifa.

The meeting comes hours after the acting president directed the termination of the appointment of the former DSS DG, Lawal Musa Daura with immediate effect.

Subsequently, Daura was asked to hand over to the most senior officer of the agency until further notice.

DSS officials had stormed the premises in the early hours of Tuesday, barricading the entrance and preventing the lawmakers from entering.

Journalists were also barred from entering the complex with the DSS officials claiming that the blockage was an order “from above.”

The lawmakers alleged that the move by the security officials was an attempt to aid the impeachment of Senate President Bukola Saraki and the Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu.
