DSS Raises Alarm Over Plots to Stage Violent Protests in Nigeria, Speaks on Ring Leaders

The Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday, September 4, said it has uncovered plans by some politicians across Nigeria to stage violent protests. The DSS disclosed that the protests are intended to discredit the Bola Tinubu-led federal government over socio-economic matters DSS stated this in a statement by the agency’s Public Relations Officer, Dr Peter Afunanya. The Nigerian secret police said intelligence reports indicated that the plotters include “certain politicians who are desperately mobilising unsuspecting student leaders, ethnic-based associations, youth, and disgruntled groups for the planned action”. “Meanwhile, the Service has identified the ring leaders of the plot as well as sustained monitoring around them in order to deter them from plunging the country into anarchy.” Furthermore, the DSS advised university Vice-Chancellors and heads of tertiary institutions to discourage their students from engaging in acts capable of derailing public peace.
