DSS Replaces President Tinubu’s Chief Security Officer

 



The Department of State Service (DSS) has made a significant change in its leadership, removing Adegboyega Fasasi from his position as Chief Security Officer (CSO) to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In his place, Rasheed Atanda Lawal, a Deputy Director, has been appointed.

As of Sunday evening, the specific reasons for Fasasi’s removal were not clearly detailed. However, sources close to the situation indicated that the DSS Director-General, Tosin Ajayi, had requested President Tinubu's approval for Fasasi to step down in order to attend a strategic training course.

The source emphasized that such changes often occur when there is a new Director-General at the DSS. This practice allows the incoming leader to appoint individuals they trust to key positions, particularly in sensitive areas like presidential security.

At this time, the Presidency has not issued any official statement regarding the change in leadership within the DSS.
