The Department of State Service (DSS) has disclaimed a Facebook group created by one Jesustofunmi Nifemi Alabi, advertising jobs vacancy on behalf of the service.
A senior official at the headquarters of the secret police in Abuja disclosed that the operatives were already trailing the fraudsters who are out to deceive some youths searching for jobs.

This is coming a few weeks after a fresh graduate in Akwa-Ibom State, Ini Umoren, was raped and killed by a fake job recruiter, while she was searching for a job.
The development generated reactions across the country.
Reacting to the social media advertisement in a statement made available on Monday, the spokesman of the DSS, Peter Afunanya, warned job seekers not to fall prey to the fraudsters.
”This is to inform the public about the fraudulent activities of one Jesustofunmi Nifemi ALABI who has created a Facebook group, SSS/DSS Recruitment 2019/2020 to deceive gullible job hunters.
”ALABI is the CEO/Chairman of Tunrok & Son Nigeria Limited and uses phone number 08112597703.
“The Service is not recruiting and does not own a Facebook account or operate other social media platforms,” Afunanya stated.
He enjoined job seekers to make recruitment enquiries from the Service’s Headquarters, Abuja, its formations nationwide or official website, www.dss.gov.ng.
