“The development angered the DSS headquarters and after making contacts, they decided to withdraw their perssonel.
“After the withdrawal, the governor apparently realising his mistakes decided to reach out to plead that he be given another chance. He is being expected in Abuja on Monday, where he will be explaining himself and reassure the DSS that he can be trusted,” a source close to the Governor disclosed.
