This directive came after DSS officials stormed the EFCC office, preventing officials from accessing their workplace and causing gunshots to be heard in the area.

Thereafter, the DSS debunked the reports, saying;

“The Service is only occupying its own facility where it is carrying out its official and statutory responsibility.”
