DSS dismisses 115 personnel, warns public against impostors
The Department of State Services (DSS) has dismissed 115 personnel as part of its ongoing internal reforms aimed at strengthening professionalism and integrity within the Service.
In a statement on its official X handle, @OfficialDSSNG, the Service said the dismissals took place over a period of time and were part of broader efforts to sanitize its ranks.
The DSS also cautioned members of the public against dealing with individuals who have been dismissed but continue to pose as active operatives.
“In addition to earlier disclaimers on the duo of Barry Donald and Victor Onyedikachi Godwin, the Service finds it necessary to warn citizens of the fraudulent activities of some of these persons still posing as DSS personnel,” the statement read.
The agency urged the public to verify the identity of anyone claiming to be a DSS operative before engaging in any official dealings.
It added that the names of all dismissed personnel have been published on the Service’s official website, www.dss.gov.ng, for reference and transparency.
“For the sake of clarity, the identities of the dismissed personnel have been published on the website of the Service,” the DSS said.
Members of the public seeking further information, enquiries or wishing to lodge complaints are advised to contact the Service on 09088373515 or via email at dsspr@dss.gov.ng.
The DSS reiterated its commitment to maintaining discipline and professionalism in line with its mandate to protect national security.
