The Department of State Services (DSS) has alerted the public of a sinister plan by some elements to stoke violence in parts of the country particularly the North Central. This was contained in a statement signed by Peter Afunanya, Public Relations Officer, Department of State Services, National Headquarters, Abuja. According to the statement, the aim is to cause ethno-religious crisis, ignite reprisals and heat up the polity. It further noted that in a bid to achieve this, the sponsors have mobilised foot soldiers and held several meetings in and outside the target areas.
The Service also alerted of a plot to use students, striking University teachers, labour unions, disgruntled individuals and strategic groups as well as exploit the global energy situation to carry out a mass protest like the ENDSARS. This is despite ongoing efforts by Government to address the issues.
The Service regards the machination as unpatriotic, and noted that it is on the trail of the agents of destabilisation who are desirous of using violence to achieve ulterior goals. The Service also stated that though it has emplaced measures to disrupt these tendencies, it has warned the ring leaders and their cohorts to desist from acts capable of causing a breakdown of law and order. It also assured the public that the Service will, in conjunction with other security agencies, go after the sponsors of this scheme and ensure the law takes it course.
For this, it advised citizens not only to engage according to rules but should resist persuasions to be used to destroy their own country. It also stressed that those who may wish to go contrary to the law will, however, face the consequences. END
