The critics of the move alleged it as a plot to break down what they see as the political clout that has been weaved around the outgoing CSO, and have as such vowed to reverse the redeployment.

However, very reliable sources in the intelligence community in Abuja averred that the move was being seen as another move to avert the kind of Major Al-Mustapha scenario during the Sani Abacha regime when a service personnel was seen working outside the loop of the service.
‘’There is no witch-hunt, the fact is that I can tell you that the move is being applauded by many people who see it as a way of attaining the goals of the service in promoting the overall wellbeing of the presidency. You are looking at minute or perhaps personal goals.
