The Department of State Services (DSS) has warned aggrieved
politicians to desist, forthwith, from plans to take laws into their
hands or engage in acts capable of breaching the peace.
It also warned that it would not condone any form of extra-judicial
activities or methods designed or adopted by persons or groups to
subvert constituted authorities.
“Instructively, defaulting persons will surely be brought to book.” DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, warned in a statement.
The secret police condemned the recent activities of some
unscrupulous elements in the name of Nigeria Continuity and Progress
(NCP) which it said “unpatriotically called for a revolution and
forceful change of government in the country’’.
It said it is aware that the “group is working in tandem with a body
of subversive agents and adversaries of the Nigerian state, with an aim
to create an atmosphere of insecurity and use same to cause disaffection
among the people.’’
“It is evident that the misguided group and its cohorts have also
planned to instigate widespread violence against the government in order
to actualize their infamous agenda of forceful change of regime.
“In line with the service’s mandate of ensuring the internal security
of Nigeria, the DSS said it will stop at nothing to achieve calm in the
nation and will continue to work with other sister agencies and
stakeholders to ensure that every segment of the populace pursues their
legitimate aspirations in an environment that is devoid of fear or
hindrance.
“The DSS not only supports the consolidation of democracy in Nigeria,
but will leave no stone unturned in rooting out persons or groups
desirous of truncating the process or undermining the country’s peace
and corporate existence.
“The service will, therefore, not condone any form of extra-judicial
activities or methods designed or adopted by persons or groups to
subvert constituted authorities.”
