The presidency has confirmed that acting President Yemi Osinbajo sacked the former Director General of the Department of State Services, Lawal Daura, with the knowledge of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Daura’s appointment was terminated on Tuesday following the siege laid by DSS operatives on the National Assembly.
The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said his principal was duly consulted prior to the sacking of the DSS DG.

Osinbajo, a legal luminary was said to have been very angry when he learnt of the blockade of the premises of the National Assembly.
He said,
“What we will like to say for the umpteenth time is that the presidency is one. Whenever the President is proceeding on vacation he transmits power to the Vice President, who then become the Acting President. On this occasion, he also did that.
“So the Acting President has all the powers of a President. Now it’s a matter then of decency and we know that the Acting President is a decent man, there is no tussle for power, there is no tough battle between him and the President.
“When something like what happened yesterday happen, there will be unanimity. There is no way there won’t be unanimity on that kind of decision. It’s not something that will be discussed with the press but know that there was unanimity in the decision”.
