DSS Arrests Two Ex-Operatives For Impersonation And Fraud

The Department of State Services (DSS) has confirmed the arrest of two former officers, Barry Donald and Victor Onyedikachi Godwin, who were caught impersonating the agency’s operatives to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the DSS recalled that it had earlier issued a public disclaimer warning that the two men had been dismissed from service but continued to parade themselves as active personnel.

“The public is hereby notified that these culprits have been apprehended and will face prosecution in accordance with the law,” the Service stated.

According to the DSS, efforts are underway to publish the names of other dismissed officers to help prevent similar cases of impersonation and protect citizens from fraudulent individuals misusing the agency’s identity.

The Service reaffirmed its dedication to professionalism, transparency, and accountability while urging Nigerians to remain alert and report suspicious activities or individuals.

For verification or enquiries, members of the public can contact the DSS through 09088373515 or via email at dsspr@dss.gov.ng.
