The Department of State Services has refuted reports that
its personnel denied operatives of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission
access to its office in Lagos.
The spokesperson for the Service, Peter Afunanya said the
DSS was occupying “its own facility” where it was carrying out an operation.
He disclosed this in a WhatsApp message to our correspondent
on Tuesday.
He 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.”
He, however, debunked claims that there is a rivalry between
his agency and the EFCC.
Afunaya said, “There is no rivalry between the Service and
the EFCC over and about anything. Please do not create any imaginary ones. They
are great partners working for the good of the nation. Dismiss any falsehood of
a fight.”
