The Department of State Security (DSS) said yesterday it was looking for ”fraudsters” using its name to extort money from Nigerians seeking to be recruited as DSS operatives.
The organization vowed that the culprits would be dealt with if apprehended.
The DSS, in a statement entitled “SSS, NOT RECRUITING” and signed by its spokesman, Tony Opuiyo, declared that ”it is not currently employing or carrying out any form of exercise in that regard.”
It added:”The public may note that in the event that the Service recruits, it does not charge money for that purpose.
“The public is, therefore, advised to be wary of these fraudulent persons and groups whose stock in trade has remained the spread of falsehood and engagement in impersonation.
“The Service further warns that it will, in accordance with the law, not hesitate to deal decisively with anyone caught in the act of impersonating it.
“While efforts have been sustained at uncovering the network of these fraudsters, the public is enjoined to pass relevant information relating to this to the nearest Service Command.”
