Another ‘EndSars’ protest imminent in north-central region, says DSS

Nigeria’s secret police has warned of an imminent protest it likened to the last October 2020 “endsars” protest.

Peter Afunnaya, the spokesperson for the Department of State Services, alleged ‘some elements have a sinister plan to stoke violence in parts of the country particularly the North Central.’

Nigeria’s north-central zone comprises Benue state, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau, and the federal capital territory, Abuja.

“The Service is aware of a plot to use students, striking University teachers, labour unions, disgruntled individuals and strategic groups as well as exploit the global energy situation to carry out a mass protest like the ENDSARS.

“This is despite ongoing efforts by Government to address the issues.

“While the Service views the machination as unpatriotic, it is on the trail of the agents of destabilisation who are desirous of using violence to achieve ulterior goals.

“Though it has emplaced measures to disrupt these tendencies, it warns the ring leaders and their cohorts to desist from acts capable of causing a breakdown of law and order.

“The public should be rest assured that the Service will, in conjunction with other security agencies, go after the sponsors of this scheme and ensure the law takes it course.”
