The Department of State Services (DSS) has uncovered clandestine moves by some unidentified persons to carry out violent attacks on public places including key and vulnerable points during the yuletide seasons.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Public Relations Officer of the Service, Dr. Peter Afunanya said “the planned dastardly acts are to be executed through the use of explosives, suicide bombing and other dangerous weapons.”
According to the statement, “the objective is to create a general sense of fear among the people and subsequently undermine the Government.”
Against this backdrop, citizens ,have been called to be extra vigilant and report strange movements and indeed, all suspicions around them to security and law enforcement agencies.
“On its part, the Service is collaborating with other sister agencies to ensure that adequate measures are put in place for protection of lives and property,” the statement added.
“To further achieve this purpose, the Service has provided emergency response numbers *08132222105* and *09030002189* for urgent contacts. It is also using this opportunity to unveil its interactive website *www.dss.gov.ng* for public communication support. ”
“Everyone is encouraged to take advantage of these platforms and similar ones provided by related agencies to timely reach and avail them (security agencies) of required information.”
The DSS has however, advised those planning to cause chaos and disrupt public peace to desist from such as it will stop at nothing to apprehend and bring them to justice.
While assuring citizens and residents of their safety during and after the festive periods, the Director General of State Service, Alhaji YM. Bichi with his Management and Staff, has wished every one, Happy Christmas Celebrations and a Prosperous 2021.
