Impeccable sources in both agencies confirmed that there had been an ongoing rivalry between the DSS and the EFCC over the ownership of the building. An official of the EFCC said, “There’s been a running battle between us and the DSS over who owns the office because the office was used by them before the EFCC came on board and it was handed over to us.
“The office used to be ours, and we have been fighting over it for years now, and the EFCC knows,” a DSS source said.
