The Department of State Services, DSS, has confirmed the dismissal of 115 personnel as part of ongoing internal restructuring and reform efforts within the agency.
The development was announced on Tuesday, November 4, in an official statement released on the DSS website and across its verified social media platforms.
According to the DSS, the affected individuals were relieved of their duties over a period of time following internal disciplinary measures aimed at strengthening professionalism within the organisation.
The secret police also warned members of the public against engaging with any of the dismissed officers, noting that some of them have continued to impersonate DSS operatives.
The statement read: “As part of the ongoing reforms in the Department of State Services, DSS, the public is hereby informed that a total of 115 personnel have been dismissed over a period.
“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.”
