A disagreement between the police and the Department of State Services (DSS) was the reason the DSS withdrew its personnel from Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State.
The DSS were said to have withdrawn their operation over alleged disagreement with the police on Thursday, as the headquarters of the department said it would not return the operatives unless the governor intervened.
Spokesperson of the Osun State Governor, Olawale Rasheed, in a statement, titled: “Alleged Withdrawal of Security Personnel: The Matter is Between Police and DSS – Governor’s Spokesperson,” said the matter was being sorted out.
The statement said the attention of the Osun State Government had been drawn to a report on the alleged withdrawal of security personnel from Governor Ademola Adeleke.
“We want to clarify that it is a minor disagreement between officers of the Department of State Services and the Police.
“The matter has been reported to the headquarters of the two security agencies for resolution. The issue is being sorted out,” the statement added.
According to the statement, “We reassure members of the public that there is no cause for alarm. Your Governor is fully secured and governance is proceeding without let or hindrance.”
