The Department of State Services (DSS) says it did not invade the residence or arrest anyone associated with Taiwo Akerele, former Chief of Staff to Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki.
DSS Director in Edo, Sheikh Waziri, told newsmen on Monday that no operative of the service invaded the residence of Mr Akerele on Sunday.
It had been rumoured that DSS operatives in Benin arrested Jaspa Olowojoba, a personal assistant to Akerele, in place of the former chief of staff.
“I have verified and confirmed that the DSS Edo has not invaded the residence nor arrested anyone associated with the former CoS,” Waziri said.
Akerele resigned his appointment as Obaseki’s chief of staff on Saturday and was replaced with Osaze Ozamure.
