DSS, EFCC in fresh face-off over invitation to SSS operatives

A major feud appears imminent between the Department of State Service (DSS) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over a move by the commission to interrogate some officials of the DSS.

Though details of the investigation purportedly being carried out by the EFCC were not made available to Sunday Tribune at the weekend, it was gathered that the commission had sent a request to effect the release of the affected DSS officials.

Investigations revealed that the authorities of the DSS had, however, refused to release the requested officials, thus creating a fresh round of animosity between the two government agencies.

A source knowledgeable on the matter said that the invitation was an attempt to rubbish the Service since the DSS was not answerable to the EFCC.
