The Department of State Services (DSS) has alerted Nigerians about plans by persons and groups to exploit some fault lines to cause ethno-religious violence in parts of the country.
A statement today, February 3 by the spokesman of the Service, Dr. Peter Afunanya said that latest developments indicate desperate efforts by these groups to subvert public order.
“In this regard, they have continued to resort to inciting, unguarded and divisive statements and acts.
“The objective is to pit citizens against one another in order to apparently inflame the embers of tribal and religious discords.
“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 statement said that the Service is determined to join hands with other security and law enforcement agencies, to take necessary steps to ensure the safety of lives and property of the citizenry.
