The Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday, said it has uncovered plans by some elements to stage violent protests in the country.
The DSS said the violent protests are aimed at discrediting the federal government and other security agencies over sundry socio-economic matters.
This was contained in a statement issued by the spokesman of the secret police, Peter Afunanya, and posted on the service’s X handle.
“Intelligence reports have indicated that the plotters include certain politicians who are desperately mobilizing unsuspecting student leaders, ethnic-based associations, youth, and disgruntled groups for the planned action,” the statement reads in part.
According to the statement, some ring leaders of the plot have been identified and the service is monitoring them to deter them from plunging the country into anarchy.
The DSS called on university Vice Chancellors and Heads of Tertiary institutions to discourage their students from engaging in acts capable of derailing public peace.
The DSS also called on parents and guardians to admonish their children and wards respectively to shun the lure of participating in inimical behaviors or conduct against law and order.
“While the DSS is aware of the Government’s efforts and determination to resolve some of the challenges confronting the nation, it warns those desirous of subverting national security to retrace their steps.
“This is more so that it will not hesitate to legally come against persons and groups behind the devious plans,” the statement further reads.
