Barely forty – eight hours after the Director – General National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ahmed Abubakar, resigned, the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Yusuf Magaji Bichi, has also tendered his resignation.
A statement signed by the media aide to President Bola Tinubu, Ajuri Ngelale this Monday concerning the resignation also announced the appointment of new Directors-General for the DSS, Adeola Oluwatosin Ajayi and that of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Mohammed Mohammed.
