DSS Disowns Fake Twitter Handles

CHUKA UBAH

The Department of State Services, DSS, has reiterated the need for the public and particularly, social media users, to note that the Service does not own, use or operate any official twitter handles. 

The Service, therefore, disowns the ones, notably DSS 255 and DSS_NG_, currently in circulation.

According to Peter Afunanya, Ph.D, Public Relations Officer, Department of State Services, these twitter handles, which also bear the Service’s symbols, are not only fake but designed by their creators to deceive, misinform and defraud unsuspecting persons.

It is also believed that such handles were desperately created by subversive elements to spread fake news and falsehood. The public is hereby warned to disregard them and any message(s) they may contain.

However, the DSS has already commenced a detailed investigation in order to ensure that the suspect(s) is/are apprehended and prosecuted.
