The Department of State Services (DSS) has announced the dismissal of 115 personnel as part of a sweeping internal reform aimed at promoting integrity, professionalism, and discipline within the agency.
In a statement posted on its official X handle, @OfficialDSSNG, the agency explained that the dismissals were carried out over time as part of broader efforts to sanitize its workforce and enhance accountability.
The DSS also warned the public against individuals who were dismissed but still present themselves as active operatives, stressing that such persons are engaging in fraudulent activities.
“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 advised citizens to verify the identity of anyone claiming to be a DSS operative before engaging in any official dealings. It also disclosed that the names of all dismissed personnel have been published on its official website, www.dss.gov.ng, for transparency.
“For the sake of clarity, the identities of the dismissed personnel have been published on the website of the Service,” it stated.
The DSS further urged members of the public seeking clarification or wishing to file complaints to contact the Service on 09088373515 or via email at dsspr@dss.gov.ng.
Reaffirming its commitment to accountability and professionalism, the DSS said the ongoing reforms are part of its broader mission to strengthen national security and uphold public trust.
