A video shared by Symfoni TV shows the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Ademola Oluwatosin Ajayi, jokingly claiming responsibility for the Nigerian Chief of Army Staff, General Christopher Musa, being denied a Canadian visa.
Speaking at an event where he had invited General Musa to be chairman, Ajayi jested that the General had underestimated him. He noted his 35 years of experience in the security service and hinted at his upcoming retirement. Ajayi explained that his long career had honed his skills in covert operations.
He then playfully stated that after inviting General Musa to the event, the General applied for a Canadian visa. Ajayi quipped that he and the DSS team covertly ensured the application was denied. He told General Musa, in a lighthearted manner, not to underestimate the DSS, especially under his leadership.
Ajayi’s exact words were: “As much as I like General Musa, he underrated me. I have spent 35 years in this job, but for political appointment I should be on my way out by April. All I have learnt is covertness and how to do things covertly. So General Musa you made a mistake with me, when we invited you to this program to be the chairman you now decided to go and apply for Canadian visa so we covertly made sure we denied you. So my dear General, next time when you hear of DSS and under a leadership like mine who has swag in doing the job, don’t underrate us. So when you leave here you can see me and you will get your Canadian visa.”
