At the center of a brewing controversy is a recent incident involving an official from the Department of State Services (DSS) who intervened to prevent Nigerian billionaire and prominent businessman, Rasaq Okoya, from shaking hands with President Bola Tinubu.
This noteworthy occurrence unfolded on a Friday at a mosque situated on Nnamdi Azikiwe Street in Lagos Island.
After the religious service, Okoya approached President Tinubu to exchange pleasantries. However, a DSS security agent attempted to intervene and halt the handshake. Despite the agent’s efforts, President Tinubu chose to proceed with the gesture, disregarding the attempt to prevent it.
The incident sparked a divided reaction among netizens, with some taking to social media to commend the DSS official for diligently executing his duty to protect the president. On the other hand, there were those who criticized the security agent, labeling his actions as overzealous.
