DSS Raises Alarm Over Planned Attacks On Nigerians During Festive Period

The Department of State Services (DSS) has alarm over plans by some criminal elements to carry out violent attacks on public places including key and vulnerable points during the yuletide seasons. 

The Public Relations Officer (PRO) DSS Headquarters Abuja, Peter Afunanya(PhD) raised the alarm in a press statement made available to journalists on Tuesday. 

Afunanya said that the planned dastardly acts are to be executed through the use of explosives, suicide bombing and other dangerous weapons.  

He noted that the objective is to create a general sense of fear among the people and subsequently undermine the Government.

The DSS however urged the citizens to be extra vigilant and report strange movements and indeed, all suspicions around them to security and law enforcement agencies.  

Afunanya said that DSS on its part, is collaborating with other sister agencies to ensure that adequate measures are put in place for protection of lives and property.

To provide impregnable security during the festive period, DSS has provided these emergency response numbers *08132222105* and *09030002189* for urgent contacts even as it used the opportunity to unveil its interactive website *www.dss.gov.ng* for public communication support. 

Ifunanya encouraged all and sundry to take advantage of the platforms and similar ones provided by related agencies to timely reach and avail them (security agencies) of required information.

The DSS however advised 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.  

The PRO DSS Headquarters assured citizens and residents of their safety during and after the festive periods.
