Bola Tinubu's Inauguration Disruption Plot Has The DSS On Edge

The Department of State Services, the secret police of Nigeria, said that on May 29, the inaugurations of President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governors-elect across the country will be disrupted by subversive elements.

However, the organization issued a stern warning to those responsible for the sinister schemes.

In a statement released on Thursday by its spokesperson, Peter Afunaya, the DSS issued the warning.

Unaccredited people were also advised by the Service to avoid the event.

Additionally, the agency requested that all attendees rigorously follow all security and civil protocol during the activities.

"The Service is, however, aware of plans by subversive elements to disrupt the programmes in parts of the country. The aim is to undermine security agencies' efforts at ensuring peaceful ceremonies as well as creating panic and fear among members of the public.

"Based on these, citizens, the media and Civil Society Organisations are advised to adhere strictly to security and civil protocols during the events. They are also urged to shun fake news, false alarms, skewed reportage/narratives and sensationalism that may likely inflame division, tension and violence prior to and after the exercises. This is more so that such undesirable acts will serve no purpose other than destroying national unity and cohesion. Additionally, all unauthorised (and unaccredited) persons are warned to stay away from restricted and certain designated areas at the event venues.
