He said the secret police would not fold its arm to watch anyone, no matter how highly placed, to cause a breakdown of law and order in the country.
To ensure the safety of all and the peace and stability of the country, Afunaya said the DSS was working with relevant authorities to ensure that the sinister objective is not achieved.
Like in the past, the DSS spokesman failed to mentioned the names of those behind the threats or the modus operandi of their plans.
Part of the statement read: ‘‘The service reiterates its commitment to the internal security of Nigeria and will, within the confines of the law, decisively deal with planners of the mayhem.
‘‘Law-abiding citizens are urged to go about their normal businesses and disregard the antics of agents of destabilisation.
‘‘‘They should, however, avail the service and related agencies with useful information about the activities of criminals and groups intent on instigating violence in the country.’’
The DSS is known for raising such alarms in the past with nothing to show for it subsequently.
Many Nigerians the secret police is a tool in the hands of the government in power to intimidate the opposition and defenceless citizens.
Over the years, the DSS itself has been used by successive governments to plunge the nation into palpable tension.
In the present administration, the DSS has invaded the National Assembly and the quarters of Federal High court judges in Abuja with a commando approach.
