DSS Raises Alarm Over Plan To Incite Violence
The Department of State Services (DSS) has raised the alarm that there were plans by some elements to cause unrest in the country.
This is coming two weeks after a similar alert was raised advising political players to follow the rules of engagement and approach the court for redress if and where there were suspicions of infractions on extant electoral laws.
In a statement issued on Saturday by its spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, the agency said while some political players had sought redress in court, others were making inciting statements.
It partly read, “The Department of State Services, again, alerts the public of plans to violently disrupt peace in the country. The service hereby warns those desperate to cause a breakdown of law and order to desist from that.
“It is evident that some aggrieved politicians are already taking advantage of this legal process. This, without a doubt, is the beauty of democracy. It is strongly believed that this approach enhances peace and security. All and sundry should cherish it.”
Afunanya warned that those disseminating fake news to pitch the citizens against the present or incoming administrations should stop.
He further said that the service would not enable the country to fall into a state of anarchy.
