The Department of State Services, DSS, has again warned against plans by some persons and groups to exploit fault lines in the nation’s unity to cause ethnoreligious violence, in some parts of the country.

The Public Relations Officer of the Service, Peter Afunanya, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.

According to the statement, the targeted states include Sokoto, Kano, Kaduna, Plateau, Rivers, Oyo, Lagos, and those in the South East.

It said the plans were to cause inter-religious conflicts and use their foot soldiers to attack some worship centres, religious leaders, personalities, as well as key and vulnerable points.

Afunanya said the latest development on the alert, indicated the desperate efforts by these groups to subvert public order.

He said the persons have continued to resort to inciting, unguarded and divisive statements, acts and to pit citizens against one another, to inflame the embers of tribal and religious discords.
