DSS raids HQ of EFCC, carts away sensitive documents
Officials of Nigeria’s secret police, the Department of State Services raided the headquarters of sister agency Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Friday night.
SaharaReporters learnt that the raid lasted till early Saturday morning.
The action was undertaken under the cover of the night to prevent public knowledge of the action while the staff of EFCC were instructed not to mention anything concerning the invitation to the public.
According to an insider, the DSS is working for a particular interest very important to the president beyond what the public is made to believe.
However, another source said it may be linked to the recent closure of the EFCC office in Ikoyi, Lagos by the DSS.
“I heard the raid and partisanship of the DSS was the reason why they raised an alarm yesterday (Saturday) that some of their disgruntled officers are planning to shame the agency and embarrass the leadership,” the source said.
