The Department of State Service (DSS) have replaced Adegboyega Fasasi as Chief Security Officer (CSO) to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In his place, another officer of the Service, Rasheed Atanda Lawal, a Deputy Director, has been appointed.
Although details of the change of guard appeared sketchy on Sunday evening, it was gathered that Fasasi, who has served as CSO since Tinubu became President in May, 2023, was replaced because he was due for a professional training.
According to reliable sources, DSS Director-General Tosin Ajayi has requested President Tinubu to approve the release of Fasasi, his Chief Security Officer (CSO), so he can attend a strategic training course.
A source explained that Fasasi’s removal and replacement were part of standard protocol, especially when new leadership takes over at the DSS. This is seen as a common practice, where reorganizations occur within the Service, particularly around the president’s security detail.
