Emerging reports Sunday evening say men of the State Security Services (SSS) invaded the residence of the former Chief of Staff (CoS) to Governor Godwin Obaseki, Taiwo Akerele, for an undisclosed mission.

Ripples Nigeria gathered that they met the absence of the ex-CoS and proceeded to arrest his Personal Assistant, Jaspa Olowojoba, after using him to search Akerele’s house located off 1st Ugbor Road in Benin city.

Akerele resigned his position on Friday night and was replaced by Ethan Uzamere as the new Chief of staff.

More details soon.
