An acting Director-General, Matthew Benabafa Seiyefa has been appointed for Nigeria’s secret police, the Department of State Service (DSS) in Abuja.

Seiyefa until his appointment was the director in charge of the Institute of Security Studies (ISS), an institution established in 2005 as the cardinal training institution for the DSS.

Seiyefa is the most senior official at the DSS after Lawal Daura who was sacked on Tuesday on the orders of Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo.

The acting DG, an indigene of Bayelsa State, was director of operations between 2007 and 2010 when Afakriya Gadzama ran the agency.

Sources at the DSS said Seiyefa is close to retirement, and was indeed billed to proceed on terminal leave later this month.

The former Director-General, Mr. Daura, who was appointed to head the Service by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015, was removed over the invasion of the National Assembly Tuesday morning by masked officials of the DSS, an incident the Presidency said was not authorized.

Sources said the handing over to Mr. Seiyefa was being conducted at the Yellow House headquarters of the agency by the agency’s director of administration and logistics as Mr. Daura was not available at the ceremony.

The sacked DG’s official convoy returned without him from the Presidential Villa to the Yellow House hours after Mr. Daura was fired.

It is not immediately clear whether and where he is being held. Insiders at the SSS said he was placed under house arrest at the presidential villa. But that could not be immediately verified.

Multiple sources at the agency on Tuesday expressed relief over the sudden end to the Katsina State-born Mr. Daura’s three years leadership of the DSS which they said was marked by high-handedness and autocracy.

He was said to have denied five senior officials their official quarters in Abuja, instead allocating the facilities to his relations who are not officials of the agency.

Mr. Daura was also said to have cancelled the regular meeting of the DG with state directors, the traditional channel for briefing his office on security issues around the country and the forum for top level evaluation of operations.

He also closed the regular channel of communication with the public as he refused to appoint a spokesperson for the agency throughout his tenure.

Osinbajo had earlier met with Seiyefa at the presidential villa shortly after sacking Mr. Daura, and directed him to hand over to the most senior official in the service.

Seiyefa arrived the presidential villa in an official SUV at about 4 p.m., clutching a file.

He was received at the entrance of the Villa by the aide de camp to the acting president. He later left for the SSS headquarters after the meeting to take charge of the security agency.
