No.

No it is not. The problem is the coinage of that acronym 'DSS' which is not known to law. They are properly called the 'SSS' which is a constitutionally established body directly under the supervision of the Presidency. Personnel may be drawn from the police or other security agencies or from qualified members of the public but they have no hierarchical or operational link with the police outside of inter-agency collaboration.

The military, DSS, NIA, DIA, FRSC, CUSTOM, IMMIGRATION, PRISONS, DRUGS LAW etc came out from the Nigeria police. DSS is the only intelligence organization operating within Nigeria. the state security service aka DSS started as E- Branch in the Nigeria police force. after the civil war the then head of state, faced with so many security challenges and because of the exigencies of the period, the E- Branch metamorphosed to national security organization (NSO) by decree number ............ meanwhile, immediately after the coup of 1986 the head of state gen babagida perceived the NSO to be a serious threat to his regime and because of the powers of the NSO to investigate and monitor the activities of both military, civilians, foreigners etc decided to split the NSO into three different security organization namely: state security service (SSS), national intelligence agency (NIA) and defence intelligence agency (DIA) in order to reduced their powers. all the above named organization are established by law. hence they are not under the Nigeria police force. just my little cent.

Thanks for the effort but please note that DSS personnel CANNOT be drawn from the Police or any other security agencies. At inception as NSO in 1976, it was the then E branch of the Police that became NSO. In 1986, NSO was broken up into 3 agencies -SSS, NIA and DIA. DSS employs i.e. recruits and trains its own operatives.

Op, DSS is NOT under the Police at all but historically, it emerged from the E Branch of the Police as NSO in 1976 and broken into 3 agencies in 1986 as per my earlier comments. Unfortunately, there is a lot of regrettable rivalry between some of these agencies instead of collaborating for the common good.

No, DSS is not under Police.

It is a Department in the Presidency under the supervision of the National Security Adviser.
