The Department of State Service(DSS), has alerted Nigerians of plans by some criminals elements to launch violent attacks on public places, including key and vulnerable points during yuletide seasons.
According to DSS, the planned attacks were to be executed through the use of explosives, suicide bombing and other dangerous weapons.
The Service’s National Public Relationships Officer, Peter Afunayan, in a statement explained that the objective of the planned violent attacks was to create a general sense of fear among the people and subsequently undermine the Government.
He therefore advised Nigerians to be vigilant and report strange suspicious movements around them, to security and law enforcement agencies.
