Tuesday, September 2, 2025 - The Department of State Services (DSS) says it has arrested two suspects in Kaduna over an alleged fraudulent recruitment syndicate operating in the name of the Service.
The suspects, identified as Aliyu Ibrahim and one other
accomplice, were apprehended following credible intelligence that exposed their
network.
According to security analyst Zagazola Makama, preliminary
investigations revealed that between 250 and 350 individuals may have fallen
victim to the scam, after being promised employment in the Service.
The suspects are currently in custody while efforts are
underway to arrest other members of the syndicate still at large.
The Service warned members of the public to be wary of fake
recruitment offers, stressing that it does not conduct recruitment through
agents or intermediaries.
“All DSS recruitment exercises are announced exclusively
through official and authorised communication channels," the service
said.
The Service further advised Nigerians to remain vigilant and
report suspicious activities to the nearest security agency.
