The Department of State Services (DSS), has alerted unsuspecting members of the public on the unscrupulous activities of one Mr. Eze Ezenwa Benard, who was recently apprehended for circulating fake DSS recruitment past questions and answers on Facebook.
The suspect operated through a page known as “Jobs and Education”, where he advertised the fraudulent materials and charged unsuspecting members of the public one thousand naira (₦1,000) for access.
Accordingly, the Service has cautioned the public to disregard any materials, stressing that it does not sell or distribute recruitment questions, answers, or examination guides through private individuals or social media pages. Recruitment into the Service, it was gathered that, when necessary, usually follows specialised procedure in accordance with extant laws and due process.
The arrest of Benard, it was further gathered, underscored the DSS’ determination to safeguard Nigerians from the fraudulent schemes of some unpatriotic elements.
Citizens are therefore encouraged to remain vigilant, verify information from official sources and report suspicious recruitment adverts or individuals attempting to extort money under any pretence.
The DSS assured that it would continue to protect the integrity of its recruitment process while ensuring that perpetrators of fraud face the full weight of the law.
