Operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS) have stormed the Lagos office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), preventing officials of the anti-graft agency from gaining access to their office in Ikoyi, Lagos.
According to HEADLINE NEWS, a source whose identity is not revealed said DSS blocked the whole building and placed an armoured tank at the front of the building.
“They even placed an armoured tank just to scare us away”, the source was reported to have said.
Both agencies according to reports have been in loggerhead with each other over the ownership of the building.
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.
Meanwhile, spokespersons for both agencies, Wilson Uwujare of the EFCC, and Dr Peter Afunaya of the DSS did not respond to inquiries by our correspondent over the development.
