The Department of State Services (DSS), on Wednesday, gave another warning over alleged plans by some persons and groups to cause ethnic and religious violence in some parts of the country.
This was contained in a statement made available to the newsmen in Abuja by the Spokesperson of the service, Peter Afunanya
The Service had on January 11, issued an alert of plans by some elements working with external forces to incite religious violence across the country. Afunanya said the latest developments on the alert indicated desperate efforts by these groups to subvert public order.
He added that persons have continued to incite unguarded and divisive statements, taken actions to pit citizens against one another in order to apparently inflame the embers of tribal and religious discords.
Afunaya said, “For the umpteenth time, the Service strongly warns these elements to desist forthwith from their (planned) nefarious acts or face the full wraths of the law.
“The DSS will, in collaboration with other security and law enforcement agencies, take necessary steps to ensure the safety of lives and property of the citizenry.”
