He said in a statement, “That report that Abba Kyari and Lawal Daura have resigned is pure mischief.
“What I can tell you is that the President sent the Chief of Staff Malam Abba Kyari to China on an assignment. He left on Saturday and we are expecting him by the middle of the week.
“The DG DSS who spoke with me a few hours ago is busy on his job. Nothing to indicate resignation. I think these are mere distractions.”
