DSS Arrests Rogue Ex-Officers Over Impersonation and Fraud Scheme

The Department of State Services (DSS) in Nigeria has announced the apprehension of two of its dismissed personnelaccording to the daily trust website, Barry Donald and Victor Onyedikachi Godwin, who were accused of fraudulent activities. These individuals were allegedly using the Service's name to engage in various schemes, prompting the DSS to issue public disclaimers regarding their disassociation from the duo.
Confirming their arrest in a statement on Wednesday, the secret police stated that Donald and Godwin will face prosecution in accordance with the law. The DSS had previously informed the public about these individuals, noting their alleged actions of cloaking under the Service to commit fraud.
