The Department of State Services (DSS) has announced the dismissal of 115 personnel as part of its ongoing efforts to reform and sanitize the agency.

In a statement released on its official X (Twitter) handle on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, the DSS warned members of the public not to engage or conduct any official dealings with the dismissed officers.

“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,” the statement read.

The Service added that some of the affected individuals were still posing as active DSS officials and 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 continued.

To ensure transparency, the DSS disclosed that the names of the dismissed personnel have been published on the Service’s official website.

Citizens seeking clarification, enquiries, or to report suspicious activity have been advised to contact the DSS directly via 09088373515 or email: dsspr@dss.gov.ng.

The move is part of the DSS’s broader commitment to discipline, professionalism, and public accountability.
