Presidency has ‘ not expelled DSS from State House ’

The Presidency yesterday denied expelling members of
the Directorate of State Security ( DSS ) from the
Presidential Villa .
DSS personnel are among the security agencies
providing cover for the President , Vice President and
the seat of power .
But there were stories that President Muhammadu
Buhari would replace them with military personnel.
But Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the
President, Mr. Femi Adesina, in a statement said :
“ Rumours that personnel of the State Security Service
have been expelled from the Presidential Villa are
unfounded .
“ President Muhammadu Buhari has given no such
order .
“ While it is true that a reorganisation of security at the
Presidential Villa which involves the realignment of
personnel from various services is underway , the
exercise does not translate to the expulsion of DSS
personnel from the premises in any way .
“ The changes being made are routine adjustments
which are not unexpected in any dynamic environment
from time to time. ”
