After over one year of sorrows, pains and false hope, The Departmentof Security Service (DSS) has notified wives of some missing seven officers that their husbands died as heroes in the line of duty.

According to Don Saint, the brother of one of the DSS men who died, officials of agency on Saturday, 29th of October, gave each of the families N250,000 as their own support to go and bury their husbands, who according to them 'died as heroes in the line of duty.'

The best DSS officer in Lagos State (2014) "After over one year of sorrows, pains and false hope, The DSS has finally alerted the families of missing DSS officers that their loved ones 'died' as heroes in the line of duty. On Saturday, 29th of October, The DSS gave each of the families 250,000 as their own contribution for their burial...

When we asked about their bodies, they told us that they can't locate their bodies.

"The minister of information once said that most Nigerians spend up to 100,000 on a bottle of Champagne. So I ask, if the lives of these 'fallen' heroes as they said, is worth only about two bottles of Champagne?

"I'm making a case not only for my brother but for all the security personnel who put their lives in harm’s way for the sake of this nation. While some people are paid to loot our money, those people who put their lives on the line are treated as they say what goes around comes around, hence, as we continue to wallow in our pains, we thank President Buhari and the DSS as we lay this on the table of God Almighty!

God bless Nigeria!

Note: "Seven DSS officers went on a mission to rescue a kidnapped woman on the 15th of September 2015. Since then till now, no word or any form of contact from the 7 of them till today, while the woman was released two days later by the kidnappers."
