After spending about two hours at the headquarters of the Department of State Services (DSS), Jibrin on Monday, August 1, arrived the Wuse 2, Abuja headquarters of the EFCC at exactly 2.44 pm.

One of the commission’s officials said: “Pres people please go outside.”
Having heard this instruction, Jibrin further added: “Please if you are not with my team step outside. Thank you.”
Efforts to reach the spokesperson of the commission, Wilson Uwujaren, on why journalists were barred was futile.
Uwajern did not pick calls put to his phone by our reporter.
