The Department of State Services (DSS) says it has uncovered plans by some individuals to stage violent protests in order to discredit the Federal Government and security agencies over socio-economic matters.
The DSS stated that intelligence reports revealed that the plotters include some politicians who the secret police said have concluded plans to mobilise student leaders, ethnic based associations, youth, and disgruntled groups for the planned action.
The Sercive, in a statement issued by its spokesman, Peter Afunanya, on Monday, September 4, 2023, said it has identified the leaders of the plot as well as sustained monitoring around them in order to deter them from plunging the country into anarchy.

Afunanya added: “In view of this development, university Vice-Chancellors and heads of tertiary institutions are advised to discourage their students from engaging in acts capable of derailing public peace.
“Also, parents and guardians are enjoined to admonish their children and wards respectively to shun the lure of participating in inimical behaviours or conducts against law and order.
“While the DSS is aware of government’s efforts and determination to resolve some of the challenges confronting the nation, it warns those desirous of subverting national security to retrace their steps.
“This is more so that it will not hesitate to legally come against persons and groups behind the devious plans.”
