DSS Removes Tinubu’s Chief Security Officer, Adegboyega Fasasi

Adegboyega Fasasi has been removed from his position as Chief Security Officer (CSO) for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by the Department of State Service (DSS).

The Nation reports that Rasheed Atanda Lawal, a Deputy Director, has taken Fasasi’s place.

Even though the reasons behind Fasasi’s removal were still unclear when the report was filed on Sunday evening,

According to sources familiar with the situation, the Director-General of the DSS, Tosin Ajayi, had asked President Tinubu to authorize Fasasi’s release from his position as Chief Security Officer so that he could continue his strategic training course.

“The perspective I want us to adopt is that such an exercise as this “change of guards” typically occurs when the DSS hires a new DG. You are aware that they operate secretly and exclusively with intelligence; According to the source, “the new DG will always prefer to have his trusted men on critical beats, with the Presidency and the office of the CSO being number one on that list.”

In the interim, the Administration still can’t seem to respond to the turn of events.
