DSS Joins Probe as INEC Traces Voter Data Leak to Insider

The Department of State Services (DSS) has reportedly joined ongoing investigations into an alleged voter data leak within Nigeria’s electoral system, as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) intensifies efforts to trace the breach to a suspected insider.

According to preliminary findings, sensitive voter registration data may have been accessed and shared without authorization, raising concerns over electoral integrity and cybersecurity within the commission’s database systems. INEC officials say internal audits are ongoing to identify the source of the leak and assess the extent of exposure.

Security sources confirm that DSS operatives are collaborating with INEC’s technical team to track digital footprints and communication logs linked to the breach. The probe is also examining possible compromise of staff credentials and data handling protocols.

The development has sparked public concern over the safety of Nigeria’s electoral database ahead of future elections, with calls for stronger safeguards and accountability measures within the commission.

INEC and DSS have both assured Nigerians that the investigation will be thorough and any culpable individuals will be brought to justice.
