The Department of State Services (DSS) has urged university vice-chancellors, Heads of Tertiary Institutions, parents, and guardians to discourage their students and children from engaging in acts that could jeopardize public peace.
This was disclosed via their official Twitter handle @ Department of State Services ( DSS) on Monday.
According to the body, “there have uncovered plans by some elements in parts of the country to stage violent protests to discredit the Federal Government and security agencies over sundry socio-economic matters.
“Intelligence reports have indicated that the plotters include certain politicians who are desperately mobilizing 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 to deter them from plunging the country into anarchy.
“University Vice-Chancellors and Heads of Tertiary Institutions are advised to discourage their students from engaging in acts capable of derailing public peace. Also, parents and guardians are enjoined to admonish their children and wards respectively to shun the lure of participating in inimical behaviors or conduct against law and order.”
Furthermore, the Department of State Services DSS has warned those seeking to violate national security to retrace their steps.
