The Department of State Services (DSS) has announced the dismissal of 115 personnel as part of an ongoing internal reform exercise aimed at strengthening professionalism within the agency.
The secret police disclosed this in a statement posted on its official X handle on Tuesday, warning the public to be cautious of individuals parading themselves as serving officers after being disengaged from service.
“As part of the ongoing reforms in the Department of State Services, the public is hereby informed that a total of 115 personnel have been dismissed over a period,” the statement read.
The DSS explained that some of the dismissed officers had continued to impersonate the agency and engage in fraudulent activities targeting unsuspecting Nigerians. It cited the cases of two former staff, Barry Donald and Victor Onyedikachi Godwin, who are set to face prosecution for alleged fraud.
The agency reiterated its earlier public notices disowning the duo, emphasizing that the identities of all dismissed personnel have been published on its official website, www.dss.gov.ng, for public verification.
“For clarity, the names of the dismissed personnel have been listed on the website of the Service. Members of the public are advised to avoid any form of official dealings with these individuals,” the statement added.
The DSS also provided official contact channels for enquiries and complaints, assuring Nigerians of its continued commitment to integrity and accountability in national security operations.
