The service enjoined Nigerians to be wary of these antics and shun all divisive tendencies aimed at inciting or setting them against one another and pledged to collaborate with sister agencies to ensure that public order is maintained.

It warned those hatching these plots to desist from such in the interest of peace, security and development of the country and urged law abiding citizens to report suspected breaches of peace around them to the nearest security agency.
