Court orders 48 persons to report to DSS over fraud

A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has directed 48 individuals to report to the Department of State Services (DSS), Lagos State Command, within 45 days to answer questions over alleged involvement in fraudulent activities.

The order requires the individuals to present themselves to the DSS to clear themselves of allegations bordering on fraud and the alleged receipt of proceeds of fraudulent transactions.

The court’s directive forms part of ongoing efforts by security agencies to investigate suspected financial crimes and ensure those named in the matter have an opportunity to respond to the allegations.

The affected persons are expected to comply with the court order within the stipulated 45-day period, failing which they may face further legal action.

The case has been adjourned for further proceedings after the expiration of the compliance period.
