The Department of State Services (DSS) has withdrawn its operatives attached to the governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke; the government house and the governor’s office.
Insinuations were rife that DSS withdrew its men because the governor insulted them.
But the governor’s spokesman, Olawale Rasheed, in a statement, explained that the withdrawal was a result of interagency rivalry between the DSS operatives and the police attached to the governor.
Olawale said the matter was between the police and DSS, and not the governor.

The statement said, “We want to clarify that it is a minor disagreement between officers of the Department of State Service and the police.
“The matter has been reported to the headquarters of the two security agencies for resolution. The issue is being sorted out.
“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.”
