President Bola Tinubu has directed operatives of the State Security Service, SSS, to vacate the Lagos headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in Ikoyi, Lagos.

Men of the SSS had early in the morning barricaded access into the EFCC office area, claiming ownership of the office complex housing the anti-graft agency.

But in a statement by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, Mr Tinubu directed that any disagreement between the agencies of government should be amicably resolved.

“The President said if there were issues between the two important agencies of government, they would be resolved amicably,” the statement added.
