….Says They’re Aware Of Plans To Use Students To Organize #EndSARS-Like Protests
The Department of State Services has said it was aware of a plot to incite violence in parts of the country, especially the North-Central.
According to a statement signed by DSS spokesperson Peter Afunanya, the aim is to cause ethno-religious crisis and destabilise the country.
The Service also said there were plans to use students and labour unions to organise a massive protest like #EndSARS, advising citizens to engage the government only based one existing rules.
Part of the statement reads:
“DSS hereby alerts the public of a sinister plan by some elements to stoke violence in parts of the country particularly the North Central. The aim is to cause ethno-religious crisis, ignite reprisals and heat up the polity. In a bid to achieve this, the sponsors have mobilised foot soldiers and held several meetings in and outside the target areas.
“Citizens are advised not only to engage according to rules but should resist persuasions to be used to destroy their own country. Those who may wish to go contrary to the law will, however, face the consequences.”
