DSS Sacks 115 Officers In Major Cleanup
The Department of State Services (DSS) has terminated the appointments of 115 personnel as part of its ongoing reform to promote integrity, discipline, and professionalism within the agency.
In a statement shared on its official X handle, @OfficialDSSNG, the Service said the action was part of long-term internal efforts to cleanse its ranks and ensure accountability among its operatives.
It also cautioned the public against individuals who were dismissed but still parade themselves as active DSS officers.
“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 DSS advised Nigerians to always verify the identity of anyone claiming to be a DSS operative before engaging in official dealings. It added that the names of all dismissed officers have been published on its official website, www.dss.gov.ng, for transparency and reference.
“For the sake of clarity, the identities of the dismissed personnel have been published on the website of the Service,” it stated.
The agency also urged the public to contact it for inquiries or complaints via 09088373515 or email dsspr@dss.gov.ng.
Reaffirming its commitment to professionalism and accountability, the DSS said the dismissals form part of wider reforms to strengthen the institution’s credibility and uphold national security standards.
