The Department of State Services (DSS) has alerted the general public to the activities of one Mr. Eze Ezenwa Benard, who was recently apprehended for circulating fake DSS recruitment past questions and answers on Facebook.
A statement by DSS made available to Newsdiaryonline said, “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.
“The public is cautioned to disregard any materials, as the DSS does not sell or distribute recruitment questions, answers, or examination guides through private individuals or social media pages. Recruitment into the Service, when necessary, follows specialised procedure in accordance with extant laws and due process.
“This arrest underscores the Service’s determination to safeguard Nigerians from the fraudulent schemes of 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 pretenses,” the statement added.
Concluding, the department said, “The DSS will continue to protect the integrity of its recruitment process while ensuring that perpetrators of fraud face the full weight of the law.”
