DSS frees four cleared of IPOB links, pays N20m compensation

The Department of State Services (DSS) has released four men, all cleared of alleged links to the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and paid each of them N20 million in compensation. The men, including Emele Uduma Ibe, Berefgagha Appah, Ondokeyilemi Aggry, and Oyeinmokebebeton Aggry, were arrested in May 2022 in Bayelsa State for allegedly being deceived into believing they would receive a monthly payment of N100,000 under the Federal Government’s Amnesty Programme.

The DSS Director-General, Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi, has been commended for his commitment to upholding human rights and improving hygiene and professionalism within the agency.
