Lawal Daura, director-general of
the Department of State Services (DSS) has been
arrested.
He was arrested after Acting
President Yemi Osinbajo relieved him of his duties on Tuesday afternoon.
Osinbajo had summoned Daura
alongside Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police, over the siege laid to
the national assembly earlier in the day.
Federal lawmakers were denied
access to the legislative chamber, fuelling speculations that the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) was perfecting its plot to oust Senate President
Bukola Saraki.
The two security chiefs arrived
Aso Rock at different times. While Idris got to the presidential villa at
12;35pm, Daura got there at 1:15pm.
After briefing Osinbajo, the
former DSS DG was whisked away.
State house correspondents who
were waiting to speak with the security chiefs did not know that Daura had been
taken away through another exit.
Osinbajo has condemned the
invasion, distancing the federal government from it.
