President Bola Tinubu, GCFR , on day two of his resumption is in a meeting with Abdulrasheed Bawa, chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

President Tinubu on Tuesday evening ordered the DSS to immediately withdraw its men and vehicles from the EFCC offices, instructing that whatever misunderstanding might exist between both agencies be amicably resolved.
A statement from the State House said: “President Bola Tinubu has directed the Department of State Security Service to immediately vacate the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Ikoyi, Lagos.
“The President gave the directive when reports that DSS officials stormed the EFCC office located on Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos on Tuesday, preventing officials of the anti-graft agency from accessing their work place, was brought to his attention.
“The President said if there were issues between the two important agencies of government, they would be resolved amicably.”
