DSS warns public against dismissed officer impersonating agency

Barry Donald, the dismissed officer




The Department of State Services (DSS) has cautioned Nigerians against dealing with one Barry Donald, a dismissed officer allegedly using the agency’s name to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.

This was disclosed in a post on the DSS official X handle, on Wednesday.

According to the post, Donald has been “engaging in unscrupulous activities, including using the name of the Service to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.”

The Service advised citizens to avoid any form of transaction or engagement with him.

“Members of the public are therefore advised to desist from any dealings with him,” the DSS stated.

The agency added that for enquiries or complaints, members of the public could contact the DSS on 09088373515 or via email at dsspr@dss.gov.ng. (The PUNCH)
