The Osun State Government has said that the alleged withdrawal of the Department of State Services (DSS) security details attached to Governor Ademola Adeleke, was as a result of a minor misunderstanding.
It was reported that the DSS had last week, withdrawn its personnel attached to the Governor, requesting that he (Governor Adeleke) ensure strict compliance with security protocol.
The report added that the DSS was not pleased with the manner its personnel were insulted by police officers in the security detail and the refusal of the Governor to address the issue.
Spokesperson to the Governor, Olawale Rasheed, in a statement on Sunday disclosed that the fracas was due to a minor misunderstanding between the police and DSS personnel in the Governor’s security detail.
Olawale added that the issue is being sorted out at the sister security agencies’ headquarters.
The statement reads; “The attention of the Osun State Government has been drawn to a report on the alleged withdrawal of security personnel from Governor Ademola Adeleke.
“We want to clarify that it is a minor disagreement between officers of the Department of State Service and the Police.
“The matter has been reported to the headquarters of the two security agencies for resolution. The issue is being sorted out.
“We reassure members of the public that there is no cause for alarm. Your Governor is fully secured and governance is proceeding without let or hindrance.”
