The Department of State Services (DSS) has once again warned the public of plans by persons and groups to cause ethno-religious violence in parts of the country.
The Service Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunanya gave the indication in a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja.
He stated that the latest developments indicate desperate efforts by these groups to put citizens against one another in order to inflame the embers of tribal and religious discords through inciting unguarded and divisive statements and acts.
The Service however warned those involved in that act to desist forthwith or face the full wrath’s of the Law.
Afunanya stated that the Service in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies, take necessary steps to ensure the safety of lives and property of the citizenry.
Recall,that the Service had on Jan. 11 issued an alert of plans by some elements working with external forces to incite religious violence across the country.
The alert stipulated that the targeted States were Sokoto, Kano, Kaduna, Plateau, Rivers, Oyo, Lagos and those in the South East.
