The DSS has dismissed 115 officers for misconduct and warned Nigerians to beware of dismissed personnel posing as active agents.
The Department of State Services (DSS) has dismissed 115 personnel as part of its ongoing internal reforms to sanitise the agency and uphold professional standards.
The Service made this known in a statement issued on Tuesday, explaining that the dismissals took place over a period of time and were part of broader efforts to “rid the organisation of misconduct and corruption.”
The DSS further warned members of the public to be cautious of some of the dismissed officers who continue to parade themselves as active personnel. “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 Service urged Nigerians to avoid any form of official dealings with the affected individuals, noting that their identities have been published on its official website as part of efforts to ensure transparency and protect the public from fraud.
