A source within the State House indicated that the request for this change reportedly came from Tosin Ajayi, the director-general (DG) of the DSS, who sought President Tinubu’s approval for Fasasi’s temporary reassignment.

The source added, “Whenever a new DG comes to office at the DSS, he is most likely to embark on reorganisation in various areas of the service, especially around the president.”
“The new DG will always prefer to have his own trusted men on critical beats, with the presidency and the office of the CSO being number one on that list.” As of now, neither the presidency nor the DSS has issued an official statement confirming the change.👉 For More READ FULL CONTENT FROM THE SOURCE ↔️
