The Department of State Services (DSS) says it has arrested
two dismissed officers who were allegedly using the name of the agency to
defraud citizens.
In a statement published on its X handle on Wednesday, the
DSS said the ex-officers, Barry Donald and Victor Godwin, will be prosecuted in
line with the law.
The agency said it has resolved to publish the names of
other personnel who were dismissed in the past to “prevent citizens from
falling victim of possible criminal intent of any of these individuals”.
“Recall that the Department of State Services (DSS) recently
issued disclaimers on two dismissed personnel of the Service, Barry DONALD and
Victor Onyedikachi GODWIN. These individuals were alleged to be cloaking under
the Service to engage in fraudulent activities,” the statement reads.
“The public is, hereby, notified that these culprits have
been apprehended and will face prosecution in accordance with the law”.
In a notice published on Sunday, DSS alerted Nigerians
against dealing with Godwin for allegedly using the name of the agency to
defraud citizens.
Last week, the DSS similarly warned against dealing with
Donald for the same allegations.
