The attention of Department of State Services (DSS) has been drawn to reports alleging involvement of a staff of DSS, one Ifeanyi Festus, in a case of abduction, defilement of a minor and abuse of office among other offences.
For clarity, the Service has no record of above named in its employment.
However, it is hereby confirmed that, an active staff, Ifeanyi Onyewuenyi, who is suspected to have forcefully converted and married one Walida Abdulhadi 'f', has been arrested and is currently being investigated.
It must be stressed that, such acts are against our regulations and laid down code of conduct.
