The Department of State Services, (DSS), has alleged that there is a plot to incite religious violence in Sokoto, Kano, Kaduna, Plateau, Rivers, Oyo, Lagos, and some States in the South-East.
This was contained in a statement issued yesterday by the DSS’s Head, Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunanya, titled: ‘Plots to incite religious violence in Nigeria’.
The DSS also warned that some worship centres and religious leaders may be attacked.
It further disclosed that part of the plans is to cause inter-religious conflicts as well as use their foot soldiers to attack some worship centres, religious leaders, personalities, key and vulnerable points.
“Consequently, Nigerians are advised to be wary of these antics and shun all divisive tendencies aimed at inciting or setting them against one another.
“Law-abiding citizens and residents are encouraged to report suspected breaches of peace around them to the nearest security agencies”, it stated.
