The Department of State Services (DSS) said it has uncovered plans by some persons and groups to destabilise Nigeria.
In a statement on Monday signed by the DSS Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunanya, it was disclosed that some prominent personalities and socio-cultural groups have resorted to divisive acts through inciting statements aimed at pitting individuals, groups and ethnic nationalities against another.
The DSS, therefore, warned that it will no longer tolerate the orchestrations by any persons or groups to cause a breakdown of law and order in the country.
It also noted that it is working assiduously with relevant authorities and sister security and law enforcement agencies to ensure that the sinister objective is not achieved.
The Service reiterated its commitment to the internal security of Nigeria, saying that it will, within the confines of the law, decisively deal with planners of the mayhem.
“Law-abiding citizens are urged to go about their normal businesses and disregard the antics of agents of destabilization, ” the statement read.
The Service further urged the general public to relate with security agencies with useful information about the activities of criminals and groups intent on instigating violence in the country.
