Former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, has reportedly ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to vacate the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) headquarters in Abuja. This move comes after the anti-corruption facility was allegedly taken over by the secret police.
According to reports, Tinubu, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), made the directive on Monday, citing concerns about the DSS’s interference with the EFCC’s activities. The development has caused quite a stir, with many Nigerians expressing their views on social media.
The EFCC is Nigeria’s lead anti-corruption agency, responsible for investigating and prosecuting financial crimes. However, recent events surrounding the agency have raised concerns about its effectiveness and impartiality.
The DSS, on the other hand, is Nigeria’s primary intelligence agency, tasked with the prevention and detection of threats against the country’s national security. Its involvement in the EFCC’s activities has led to questions about the extent of its powers and influence over government institutions.
Nigerians have taken to social media to express their opinions on this incident. While some believe that the DSS’s presence at the EFCC was necessary to prevent corruption within the agency, others suggest that the move was politically motivated.
It remains to be seen how this development will affect the EFCC’s activities, given the agency’s important role in tackling financial crimes in Nigeria. However, one thing is clear: the fight against corruption in the country has become even more complicated with the recent developments surrounding the EFCC and the DSS.
