The Department of State Services (DSS) on Tuesday announced the dismissal of at least 115 personnel as part of ongoing internal reforms aimed at strengthening discipline and professionalism within the agency.

According to an update published on the official website of Nigeria’s secret police, the affected officers were removed over a period of time following investigations into various acts of corruption and misconduct.

The DSS also cautioned members of the public to be wary of some of the dismissed operatives who have continued to parade themselves as serving 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 said.

The agency urged Nigerians to desist from engaging in any official transactions with the individuals whose names have since been listed on its website.
