Secret Police, DSS Personnel Jubiliate Resignation Of Immediate Past Director-General, Yusuf Bichi

Some personnel of the Nigerian Secret Police, Department of State Services (DSS) have been caught in a video jubilating over the resignation of the immediate past Director-General, Yusuf Bichi.

President Bola Tinubu had approved on Monday the appointment of new Directors-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and the Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday.

According to the presidency’s spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, in a release on Monday, “Ambassador Mohammed Mohammed is the new Director-General of the NIA. Mr Adeola Oluwatosin Ajayi is the new Director-General of the DSS.”

“Ambassador Mohammed has had an illustrious career in the foreign service since joining the NIA in 1995. He had served in various roles, culminating in his promotion to the rank of Director and his subsequent appointment as the head of the Nigerian mission to Libya."

In the video, which has been circulating on social media, the DSS personnel can be seen cheering, dancing, and exchanging congratulatory messages following the announcement of Bichi's exit.

Independent checks by SaharaReporters on the viral video showed that it recently surfaced online.

Fact-check results linked it to several comments on the celebration of DSS personnel on Bichi’s resignation.

Nigerian netizens also revealed that Bichi's leadership style and policies had created divisions among personnel, leading to widespread discontent.

A user, Thεό Abu wrote: “DSS Personnel celebrating the removal of DSS DG, Bichi. The new DG must do everything possible to make this organization work for the good of Nigeria.”

“When a friend sent this to me how their people are celebrating the removal of DSS DG, Bichi and I didn't believe it until I saw this video,” also A. Ayofe captioned the video.

A human rights advocate, Omoyele Sowore also hoped that the next person that would be asked to leave office would be the current Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.

He wrote: “The @OfficialDSSNG officials here are jubilant over the removal of Son-Of-A-!Bich-i (this is how I addressed him while I was detained at the DSS HQ), but these are the same officers sent to do all the dirty jobs, and they’ll carry them out “diligently.”

“Wait until the current IG of @policeng , Kayode Egbetokun, is retired (hopefully next week or when he’s eventually disgraced out of office), and you will see senior police officers throwing their berets in the air in jubilation.

“The man, just like his principal @officialABAT has turned the Nigeria Police Force into what Yorubas call “Esusu Igbalode” for Yoruba folks. Basically, he favours mostly -ONLY—Yoruba officers for posh assignments #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria #RevolutionNow #FearlessInOctober," Sowore wrote.

Any boss that didn't allow we Nigerians to do anyhow at work, comes to work late, close earlier before closing time, will be tagged wicked boss.

A strict lecturer, not collecting bribe, not telling ladies to see him at his guest house is considered a wicked lecturer.

Bichi has done is best for his fatherland.

Exactly what I wanted to type.

This one that they are celebrating that may mean that he was doing his job well.

Nigerians tend to like bosses who look the other way when they do not do their jobs.

NorthernAgender:
This celebration call for more scrutiny within the organization. And I can boldly ignorantly say that this jubilant are the lazy one .
