Tension as DSS takes over EFCC Lagos office

Operatives of the Department of the State Security Service have taken over the Ikoyi office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Lagos.

Both agencies have been at loggerheads with each other over the ownership of the building.

The DSS officials are said to have prevented anyone including workers of the anti-graft agency from gaining access to their office in Ikoyi, Lagos.

Premium Times reported a source as saying the DSS blocked the whole building and placed an armoured tank in the front of the building.

“They even placed an armoured tank just to scare us away,” the source said.

As of the time of this report, all the EFCC officials at the office in Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, were prevented from accessing the building by SSS officials.
