The Department of State Services, DSS, has raised alarm over plans by some unnamed persons to stage violent protests across the country.
In a statement released by its public relations officer, PRO, Peter Afunanya, on Monday, the DSS said the plotted protests aimed to “discredit the federal government and security agencies over sundry socio-economic matters.”
According to Afunanya, the plotters are currently mobilising unsuspecting student leaders, ethnic-based associations, youth and disgruntled groups for the planned action.
“In view of this development, university vice-chancellors and heads of tertiary institutions are advised to discourage their students from engaging in acts capable of derailing public peace,” the PRO warned.
“Also, parents and guardians are enjoined to admonish their children and wards respectively to shun the lure of participating in inimical behaviours or conducts against law and order.”
The agency disclosed that it has identified the plotters of the protests and is monitoring them to “deter them from plunging the country into anarchy.”
It also warned “those desirous of subverting national security” to retrace their steps as it will not “hesitate to legally come against persons and groups behind the devious plans.”
