Staff of Department of State Services (DSS) were seen on a viral video celebrating the removal of its former Director-General, Yusuf Magaji Bichi by President Bola Tinubu.
Naija News reported on Monday that President Tinubu appointed Adeola Ajayi as new DG of DSS.
In a statement on Monday, DSS spokesman, Peter Afunaya, said Ajayi is a thoroughbred and versatile intelligent officer.
He added that the new DG comes into the new position with immense goodwill.
“Mr Ajayi is a thoroughbred and versatile Intelligence Officer. Recruited into the Service in 1990 as a cadet officer, the new DG has received several trainings in diverse areas of management, security leadership, critical thinking, human resources among others from within and outside the country.
“He has also held many command positions including State Director of Security (SDS) at Rivers, Bayelsa, Bauchi, Enugu and Kogi States.
“Mr Ajayi is diligent, resilient, urbane, pro-active and analytic. He comes to his new position with experience, capacity and immense goodwill,” Afunaya said.
The goodwill could be seen in the jubilating video of staff of the Secret Service, posted by former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) Omoyele Sowore, on his X handle.
Naija News reported that the alleged fracas between the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, and Bichi was responsible for the removal announced by the President.
A source alleged that Ribadu accused Bichi of hindering his office’s operation to rid the country of terrorists and bandits.
“Ribadu feels Bichi has been sabotaging his coordinating efforts to carry out the marching order given by the President to rid the country of terrorists and kidnappers,” the source said.
