The Department of State Services (DSS) has alerted the public of a sinister plan by some elements to stoke violence in parts of the country particularly the North Central.
In a statement issued in Abuja and signed by thePublic Relations Officer,Peter Afunanya, said tthat they plan to use students, striking University teachers, labour unions, disgruntled individuals and strategic groups as well as exploit the global energy situation to carry out a mass protest like the ENDSARS.
According to the statement; the aim is to cause ethno-religious crisis, ignite reprisals and heat up the polity.
It stated that the Service was on the trail of the agents of destabilisation who are desirous of using violence to achieve ulterior goals, adding that it has emplaced measures to disrupt these tendencies,
It warned the ring leaders and their cohorts to desist from acts capable of causing a breakdown of law and order.
It assured the public that the Service will, in conjunction with other security agencies, go after the sponsors of this scheme and ensure the law takes it course.
“Citizens are advised not only to engage according to rules but should resist persuasions to be used to destroy their own country. Those who may wish to go contrary to the law will, however, face the consequences”, it warned.
