The Presidency has denied the expulsion of personnel and officers of the
Department of State Security, DSS, from the Presidential Villa.
Femi Adesina, the Presidential Spokesman said in a statement that although
there is a reorganization and realignment of officers but that does not
translate to expulsion.
The Statement reads:
“Rumours that personnel of the State Security Service have been expelled
from the Presidential Villa are unfounded.
“President Muhammadu Buhari has given no such order.
“While it is true that a reorganization of security at the Presidential
Villa which involves the realignment of personnel from various services is
underway, the exercise does not translate to the expulsion of DSS
personnel from the premises in any way.
“The changes being made are routine adjustments which are not unexpected
in any dynamic environment from time to time.”
