Yuletide: SSS Raises The Alarm Over Plot To Bomb Worship Places, Parks

The Department of State Services (DSS) has warned the public
about plans by what it called “some criminal elements” to carry out
violent attacks on public places including key and vulnerable
points during the yuletide seasons.

The planned dastardly acts are, according to DSS, to be executed
through the use of explosives, suicide bombing and other dangerous
weapons.

DSS went further: “The objective is to create a general sense of
fear among the people and subsequently undermine the
Government.

Against this backdrop, citizens are called upon to be extra
vigilant and report strange movements and indeed, all suspicions
around them to security and law enforcement agencies.

On its part, the Service is collaborating with other sister
agencies to ensure that adequate measures are put in place for
protection of lives and property.

To further achieve this purpose, the Service has provided these
emergency response numbers *08132222105* and *09030002189* for
urgent contacts. It is also using this opportunity to unveil its
interactive website *www.dss.gov.ng* for public communication
support.

Everyone is encouraged to take advantage of these platforms and
similar ones provided by related agencies to timely reach and avail
them (security agencies) of required information.

However, the Service advises those planning to cause chaos and
damage to public peace to desist from such as it will stop at
nothing to apprehend and bring them to justice.

While assuring citizens and residents of their safety during and
after the festive periods, the DGSS, Alhaji YM. Bichi fwc, with his
Management and Staff, wishes all, Happy Celebrations and a
Prosperous 2021.
