The Department of State Services (DSS) has dismissed 115 officers as part of an ongoing reform aimed at strengthening discipline and integrity within the agency.
In a statement released on Tuesday via its official social media platforms and website, the DSS said the affected personnel were removed over time following internal reviews and reform measures. The agency cautioned the public against engaging with any of the dismissed officers, warning that some have continued to impersonate active DSS operatives for fraudulent purposes.
“For the sake of clarity, the identities of the dismissed personnel have been published on the DSS website,” the statement read.
The DSS, also known as the State Security Service (SSS), plays a vital role in protecting Nigeria’s internal security by detecting and preventing crimes such as terrorism, espionage, and economic sabotage. It also provides protection for top government officials and strategic national assets while offering intelligence support to government institutions.
