DSS Arrests Blogger Who Posted Fake Recruitment Notice

The Department of State Services (DSS), has arrested a 33-year-old man, Sylvester Victor Augustus who cloned the website of the Agency in which a false notice was placed informing Nigerians that the nation’s secret police was recruiting.

Augustus, a native of Abak Local Government Area in Akwa-Ibom State, was tracked and arrested by DSS operatives on Thursday, January 9, 2024 at his residence on Akpan Eno Lane in Abak.

The suspect claimed to be a graduate of the University of Uyo (UNIUYO), a blogger and content creator.

Augustus had cloned the DSS website on which he created a fake online recruitment notice, apparently with the intent of defrauding unsuspecting members of the public.

The DSS had promptly tagged the post “FAKE” and cautioned members of the public not to fall victim to the antics of fraudsters.

Forefront News gathered that Augustus will soon be arraigned in court.
