Department of State Services
(DSS) says it uncovered plots by some groups to cause a breakdown of law and
order in the country.
Peter Afunanya, spokesman of the
DSS in a statement on Tuesday, said the groups have planned to instigate
protests, mass action and violence with a view to causing anarchy and
destabilising the country.
He said: “These predetermined
actions have been designed to take place simultaneously in the major cities
across the geopolitical zones in the coming weeks. This is more so that the
plotters are also targeting the yuletide seasons to accomplish their sinister
motives.”
The DSS warned those involved in
the plots to desist from them. It also asked parents to warn their children not
to let themselves be used to foment trouble.
“Parents are advised to rein in
their wards and enjoin them not to allow themselves to be used to foment
trouble. Similarly, heads of academic and public institutions are to warn their
students and employees respectively from engaging in any untoward activity
against public order,” Afunanya said.
“The Service and other sister
agencies are at alert and will ensure that peace and security are maintained in
all parts of the country before, during and after the festive periods. Law
abiding citizens are equally encouraged to go about their normal businesses
without fear but report any suspected persons or breach of peace to the nearest
security office to them.”
