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.
