The Department of State Services (DSS) has dismissed 115 officers in what it described as part of ongoing internal reforms to sanitise the agency and uphold professional ethics.
In a statement on Tuesday, the secret police said the action followed a series of disciplinary reviews aimed at eliminating corruption and misconduct within its ranks.
According to the DSS, the dismissals took place over a period of time as part of broader efforts to strengthen integrity and accountability in the Service.
The agency also cautioned members of the public against dealing with some of the dismissed officers who still parade themselves as active personnel.
“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 said.
