Personnel Of Secret Police DSS Lament Death Of 8 Colleagues, Hardship During Promotion Exam

Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have expressed outrage over what they described as the "inhumane and chaotic conditions" that characterised the agency’s recent promotion examination exercise, which reportedly led to the death of eight officers.

SaharaReporters learnt from top insiders that the tragedy occurred as many personnel were forced to fund their own travel and accommodation for the exams, with no financial support from the agency.

The situation, sources said, created extreme hardship and anxiety, ultimately costing the lives of officers who collapsed or fell ill while struggling to meet the demands of the process.

It is with profound dismay that we note the recent release of the DSS promotion results,” a senior officer told SaharaReporters.

This process has been marred by unparallelled tragedy, with the reported loss of eight officers who died due to travel-related anxiety and hardships. Compounding this grief is the injustice of self-funded logistics, as no official travel or hotel allowances were provided.”

Beyond the fatalities, sources accused the DSS leadership of overseeing a compromised examination riddled with incompetence and lack of transparency.

They alleged that unqualified individuals set and marked the tests, leading to an abysmally low pass rate that has deepened resentment across the service.

The integrity of the examination itself is in serious doubt. The outcome, a pass rate of less than 50% for the interview stage, is a direct reflection of this incompetence and has caused widespread disenchantment across all ranks,” the source explained.

“This entire affair represents a profound betrayal of the service’s dedicated personnel and demands immediate and thorough review.”

Figures obtained by SaharaReporters confirm the widespread discontent, showing shockingly low success rates across several cadres: CSIO to ADIS: 44.4% (284/640), PSIO to CSIO: 45.0% (179/398), SSIO to PSIO: 74.5% (379/509), SIO I to SSIO: 45.2% (132/292), SIO II to SIO I: 38.2% (557/1460), SO to SIO II: 56.6% (162/286), ASO to SO: 31.6% (372/1176), CD to ASO: 23.0% (34/148), DI to CD: 31.3% (194/619) and DII to DI: 45.5% (381/838).

An operative stressed that the atmosphere of fear and secrecy surrounding the service meant leadership was desperate to suppress details of the deaths and poor results from becoming public.

“This is why they are clamping down, they don’t want you to tell the public what has happened under the new leadership,” the officer said.

So this hardship has reached DSS as well. All of them are suffering and smiling. No more Middle class in this country. Tinubu has eroded that. Despite subsidy removal, they keep on taxing the masses and go on extravagant borrowing just to loot.

I don’t trust these one-sided story. It’s not unusual that people complain when they don’t get things easily.
After all, over 2000 people passed the same exams. Did all of those ones bribe?

The security forces will not protest because the leadership is corrupt. The masses are suffering, the lower rank forces are suffering virtually everything breathing in Nigeria apart from thieving politicians are suffering but they'll tell us that tinubu is doing good. Is only God that punish all of them

Because DSS went after Sowore on his absymal social media post, he decided to start sprewing unconfirmed report about the DSS.

Is this what journalism in Nigeria has turned to?
Re: DSS Personnel Lament Death Of 8 Colleagues, Hardship During Promotion Exam by PigTormentor: 5:47pm On Sep 08, 2025
Hardship is the reason for death of 8 co workers? All sorts of lies to get attention and sympathy. Pathetic.
