Matthew Seiyefa takes over as DSS boss

The President Muhammadu Buhari administration on Tuesday, appointed Matthew Seiyefa as the Acting Director of the Department of State Services (DSS), hours after the sacking of Lawal Daura, the erstwhile DG.

This was made known by the Presidency on its verified Twitter handle, @NGRPresident.

Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo had earlier met behind closed doors with Seiyefa who, until his appointment, was the most senior director in the DSS.

Daura had ordered the invasion of the National Assembly by security operatives on Tuesday morning.

The Presidency denied knowledge of the order, which resulted in the dismissal of Daura.
