SaharaReporters confirmed that President Buhari forced the Director General of State Security Services, Ita Ekpeyong, to resign effective immediately.

A source at Aso Rock told our SaharaReporters correspondent that the order came directly from President Buhari and that it would take immediate effect.

Mr. Ekpeyong’s termination comes at a time when power struggles within the Department of State Security Service has been public knowledge, with authorities in the Presidential Villa removing DSS officials from Presidential protection.

It has also been learned that Lawal Musa Daura has been appointed as the Director General of the DSS, which was stated in a letter by the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Barr. Danladi Kifasi.

Barr. Kifasi was once the Deputy Director Presidential Communication, Command and Control Centre at the Presidential Villa Abuja between 2003 and 2007. He also served as the State Director of Security Service at various times in Kano, Sokoto, Edo, Lagos, Osun and Imo States.

Good for him

Better to resign than to be retire unceremoniously like justice Salami, the role DSS played during the last electioneering is too political.

.

Getting Interesting. This man's mission is yet to fully unfold but i can bet anyone that Buhari is a tragedy for the people of that country.

By the time he's done, even the international community will appreciate the need for a review of the geo-political structure of Nigeria.

The coupist mentaily is very much alive, that's why there is no cabinet other than witch hunting of perceived enemies. Nigeria may have inadvertently slided into the dark days of the Hausa-Fulani khaki boys. But sadly, may be difficult for them in this era of massive global media.

Okay...
