        This is a failed coup, VP Osinbajo sacked DSS DG Lawal Daura because Osinbajo and Buhari want to cover their shameless act.

        The man carried orders from his Commander in Chief, they are just using the sack to confuse the world, later they will secretly compensate the man. And Note that the Vice president sacked the DSS Chief with the approval of the Londoner Commander in Chief Buhari. It's an own goal.
