Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Department of State Service, DSS, has removed Adegboyega Fasasi as Chief Security Officer, CSO, to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n

The development comes as Fasasi was replaced with Rasheed Atanda Lawal, a Deputy Director, the Nation reports.<\/p>\n

Although details on why Fasasi was removed remained sketchy as of filing the report on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, sources familiar with the development said the Director-General of DSS, Tosin Ajayi, had requested President Tinubu to approve the release of Fasasi from serving as CSO so he could proceed on a strategic training course.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe angle I want us to look at it from is the fact that such exercise as this \u2018change of guards\u2019 usually happens when the DSS gets a new DG. You know they deal strictly with intelligence and operate in secrecy; the new DG will always prefer to have his trusted men on critical beats, the Presidency and the office of the CSO to the President being number one on that list,\u201d the source told the Nation.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Presidency has yet to react to the development.<\/p>\n
