The Department of State Services (DSS) has apprehended Sylvester Victor Augustus, 32, for cloning the agency’s official website and posting a fraudulent recruitment notice. Augustus, a native of Abak Local Government Area in Akwa Ibom State, was arrested on Thursday at his residence on Akpan Eno Lane, Abak, by DSS operatives.
A security source revealed that Augustus, who claims to be a graduate of the University of Uyo (UNIUYO), as well as a blogger and content creator, will soon be arraigned in court. The fake recruitment notice, created to deceive unsuspecting Nigerians, was promptly flagged as fraudulent by the DSS, which issued a public warning to prevent citizens from falling victim to the scheme.
