The DSS further said that it is evident that the misguided group and its cohorts have also planned to instigate widespread violence against the government in order to actualize their infamous agenda of forceful change of regime.

The DSS statement which was issued by its Public Relations Officer, Mr. Peter Afunanya, said that in line with the Service’s mandate, it will continue to work with other sister agencies and stakeholders to ensure that every segment of the populace pursues their legitimate aspirations in an environment that is devoid of fear or hindrance.
It also assured that it will stop at nothing to support the consolidation of democracy in Nigeria, thus would leave no stone unturned in rooting out persons or groups desirous of truncating the process or undermining the country’s peace and corporate existence.
Afunanya further said; “The Service will, therefore, not condone any form of extra-judicial activities or methods designed or adopted by persons or groups to subvert constituted authorities.
“Consequently, aggrieved politicians are enjoined, for the umpteenth time, to desist, forthwith, from plans to take laws into their hands or engage in acts capable of breaching the peace.
“Instructively, defaulting persons will surely be brought to book.”
