The Department of State Services (DSS) has warned Nigerians to be cautious of a dismissed officer impersonating the agency to defraud unsuspecting individuals.
In a statement posted on its official X account on Sunday, the DSS identified the suspect as Victor Onyedikachi Godwin, a former operative accused of engaging in “unscrupulous activities.”
“The Department of State Services (DSS) alerts the public to the activities of one Victor Onyedikachi Godwin, a dismissed staff member, who has been using the Service’s name to deceive and defraud innocent citizens,” the statement said.
The agency urged Nigerians to refrain from any dealings with the suspect and to direct all enquiries or complaints through its verified communication channels.
This latest advisory comes just four days after the DSS issued a similar warning about Barry Donald, another dismissed officer allegedly posing as a member of the agency to carry out fraudulent activities.
