DSS says politicians planning violent protests against government 

The Department of State Services (DSS) said it has uncovered plots by some politicians to stage violent protests against the Federal Government. 

The security operative disclosed this in a statement released on Monday.

According to the statement, the planned protests are hinged on economic matters and aimed at throwing the country into a state of anarchy. 

Although the security outfit said it had identified the leaders of the planned protests, no names were mentioned in the statement. It, however, advised Vice Chancellors of all Nigerian Universities to discourage their students from participating in the protest.

The DSS in the statement posted on its X page and signed by its Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunanya, said: 

Meanwhile, some social media users are querying the security operative for not mentioning the names of the alleged plotters after it said it had identified them.
They also wondered why the DSS had not arrested them since it had evidence against them.
