DSS hints at plans to cause chaos, disrupt gov polls

The Department of State Services (DSS) has said that there are “orchestrated plans” by some persons to cause a total breakdown of law and order and disrupt the scheduled governorship elections in parts of the Federation.

Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has postponed the governorship and state house of assembly elections earlier scheduled for Saturday, March 11.

DSS, in a statement through its spokesman, Peter Afunanya, on Wednesday, also warned the individuals or groups no matter how highly placed they are to abort such plans.

The secret service further cautioned political players to be law-abiding as Nigerians head to the polls for the governorship and state assembly elections.

The DSS said it is committed to the safety and security of citizens who may wish to go out to exercise their civic responsibility.

“All and sundry are, therefore, enjoined to abide by the rules of engagement particularly the Electoral Act and extant guidelines,” the statement said.
