DSS ALERTS OF PLANNED VIOLENT ACTION; WARNS AGAINST DESPERATION TO IGNITE VIOLENCE IN
THE COUNTRY

The Department of State Service (DSS),has again, alerts the public of plans to violently disrupt peace in the country.

The Service in a statement signed by the spokesman Peter Afunanya, said, it is warning those desperate to cause a breakdown of law and order to desist from that.

It would be recalled that the Service had earlier advised political players to abide by the rules of engagement as well as approach the courts for redress, if and where there are suspicions of infractions on extant electoral laws.

Peter added that, it is evident that some aggrieved politicians are already taking advantage of this legal process.

He noted that this, without doubt, is the beauty of democracy. It is strongly believed that this approach enhances peace and security.
All and sundry should cherish it.

He further stressed that, be that as it may, the DSS will not tolerate a situation where persons and/or groups take laws into their hands and champion anarchy.

Those peddling fake news, hate speech and all forms of false narratives as basis to ignite violence or pitch the people against the present or incoming administrations, at the Federal, State and Parliamentary levels, should stop forthwith.
Afunanya cautioned the public that, those inciting violence have nothing to gain as doing so will not only consume them but also the innocent.
It is otherwise disturbing to see respected personalities use their platforms to mislead or incite citizens.

This, to say the least, does not augur well for peaceful coexistence and general order.

Therefore, the Service will continue to take necessary measures to checkmate these elements who do not wish the country well.
This is to ensure that the conducive environment is provided for citizens and residents to pursue their legitimate businesses.

The statement concluded with the popular addage, “A stitch in time, they say, saves nine”.
