As Nigerians await the judgement of the Presidential Election Tribunal in the suits filed by the PDP and Atiku Abubakar and that of the Labour Party and Peter Obi on Wednesday, September 6, 2023, the Department of State Services DSS says it has uncovered political ring leaders’ plot to unleash violent protests nationwide in order to discredit the Federal Government and security agencies over sundry socio-economic matters.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Service’s spokesman Peter Afunanya this Monday.

The statement reads in part that, “Intelligence reports have 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, “
The DSS warned that, in view of the development, University Vice-Chancellors and Heads of Tertiary Institutions are advised to discourage their students from engaging in acts capable of disrupting public peace.
It also enjoined parents and guardians to admonish their children and wards to shun the lure of participating in inimical behaviours or conduct against law and order.
The statement concluded that 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.
Today marks the third time in 2023, the nation’s Secret Service is warning against the breakdown of law and order by unscrupulous elements.
