DSS Warns Against Nationwide Protest
The Department of State Services has warned the organisers of the planned nationwide protests against proceeding with them.
The service said it uncovered a plan by some criminal elements to hijack the protest and cause unrest in the country.
The military and police have also warned against the protest scheduled to be held from August 1 to 10 in response to the economic hardship experienced in the country.
The DSS, in a statement on Thursday by its spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, described the motive behind the protest as political.
Afunanya added that the plotters of the protest intended to use the violent outcome of the protest to smear the federal and sub-national governments.
