The Department of State Services (DSS) said it is not fighting with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over a property in Lagos.
It debunked rumour that it blocked the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Lagos.
DSS spokesman Peter Afunanya in a statement said the building occupied by the EFCC originally belongs to the secret police.
Politics Nigeria gathered that there have been unsuccessful talks between both agencies over resolving the ownership dispute.
“It is not correct that the DSS barricaded EFCC from entering its office. No. It is not true. The Service is only occupying its own facility where it is carrying out its official and statutory responsibility,” Afunanya said.
“By the way, there is no controversy over No 15A Awolowo Road as being insinuated by the Media. Did the efcc tell you it is contesting the ownership of the building?”
DSS spokesman explained that “Awolowo Road was NSO headquarters. SSS/DSS started from there. It is a common knowledge. It is a historical fact. Check it out.
“There is no rivalry between the Service and the EFCC over and about anything. Please do not create any imaginary one. They are great partners working for the good of the nation. Dismiss any falsehood of a fight.” he said.
