Yuletide: Be security conscious, DSS urges Nigerians

The Department of State Services (DSS) has felicitated Nigerians on the occasions of Christmas and the forthcoming New Year, urging the citizens to be security conscious and mindful of their environment.

The DSS also urged Nigerians to remain law-abiding and peaceful during and after the celebrations.

The secret police gave the admonition in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, on Friday, December 22, 2023.

Afunanya further enjoined operators and patrons of recreational/motor parks, fun places, worship centres, supermarkets, and other public spaces to be alert and take appropriate measures to protect their facilities and the users.

The DSS spokesman advised the citizens and residents to report suspicious persons, movements, parcels, and objects to relevant security agencies, adding: “They are encouraged to shun acts of violence, fake news, and any form of divisive tendency, in the interest of public order and national security.

“Therefore, the Service enjoins members of the public to use the opportunity of the celebration to promote unity and peaceful coexistence.

“Meanwhile, it will continue to collaborate with sister security and law enforcement agencies and all stakeholders to provide adequate security before, during, and after the festive periods.

“Once again, Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year in advance.”
