DSS Reiterates Call Against Violence
By Daniel Dafe, Abraka
The Department of State Services (DSS) has reiterated its earlier warnings that some persons and groups are planning to exploit some fault lines to cause ethno-religious violence in parts of the country.
A statement by Peter Afunanya, Ph.D
Public Relations Officer,
DSS National Headquarters,
Abuja, dated 3rd February, 2021, said: “Latest developments indicate desperate efforts by these groups to subvert public order. In this regard. They have continued to resort to inciting, unguarded and divisive statements and acts. The objective is to pit citizens against one another in order to apparently inflame the embers of tribal and religious discords.”
Adding: “For the umpteenth time, the Service strongly warns these elements to desist forthwith from their (planned) nefarious acts or face the full wraths of the law.”
