Former Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Chief Albert Korubo Horsfall, has died at the age of 84.
Horsfall reportedly passed away on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at a hospital in Lagos after a prolonged illness.
He served as Director-General of the State Security Service (SSS), now known as the DSS, from 1990 to 1992. He was also the pioneer Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), where he contributed significantly to the development of Nigeria’s modern intelligence system.
Before rising to senior positions in Nigeria’s intelligence community, Horsfall served as a police officer and was among the foundation staff of the former National Security Organisation (NSO).
