The Department of State Services (DSS) has issued warnings to those allegedly involved in making inciting and divisive statements or acting in same manner, saying that they will be made to face the full wrath of the law.
The warning was issued on Wednesday, February 3, 2021, in a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the DSS
Dr Peter Afunanya, from its national headquarters in Abuja.
It said that recent developments had indicated efforts by the suspected groups to overturn public order.
The DSS also brought to notice its earlier warnings about plans by persons and groups to exploit some fault lines to cause ethno-religious violence in parts of the country.
“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 wrath of the law,” the statement read.
It further said that the DSS, in collaboration with other security and law enforcement agencies, would take necessary steps to ensure the safety of lives and property of the citizenry.
