The Department of State Services (DSS) has identified some key players in the plot for an interim government in Nigeria. This was disclosed by the Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunanya, who stated that the service considers the plot, being pursued by entrenched interests, as not only an aberration but a mischievous way to set aside the constitution and undermine civil rule as well as plunge the country into an avoidable crisis.
The DSS noted that the planners, in their many meetings, have weighed various options, which include, among others, sponsoring endless violent mass protests in major cities to warrant a declaration of State of Emergency. Another is to obtain frivolous court injunctions to forestall the inauguration of new executive administrations and legislative houses at the Federal and State levels.
Consequently, the Service strongly warns those organizing to thwart democracy in the country to retract from their devious schemes and orchestrations calling on stakeholders, notably judicial authorities, media, and Civil Society, enjoined to be watchful and cautious to avoid being used as instruments to subvert peace and stability of the nation.
While its monitoring continues, the DSS echoed that it will not hesitate to take decisive and necessary legal steps against these misguided elements to frustrate their obnoxious intentions.
