Department of State Services (DSS) has alerted the public about plans by some elements working with external forces to incite religious violence across the country.
A statement signed by DSS Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunanya revealed that the targeted states include Sokoto, Kano, Kaduna, Plateau, Rivers, Oyo, Lagos and those in the South East.
The statement said part of the plans by the unscrupulous elements 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.
Afunanya, in the statement, advised Nigerians to be wary of these antics and shun all divisive tendencies aimed at inciting or setting them against one another.
He added that while the Service pledged to collaborate with sister agencies to ensure that public order is maintained, the Service also warned those hatching the plots to destabilize public peace to desist from such in the interest of peace, security and development of the country, stressing that law abiding citizens and residents are encouraged to report suspected breaches of peace around them to the nearest security agencies.
