The Department of State Services (DSS) has called for vigilance ahead of the Eid-El-Kabir celebrations, saying that reports indicated plans to attack worship and recreational centres before and during the festivities.

This was contained in a statement by the spokesperson for the secret police, Peter Afunanya. 

The DSS also advised operators and patrons of public places including markets and malls to be watchful and report any suspicious movements and persons to the relevant security agencies.

The Service said it will continue to partner with sister agencies for necessary proactive drills to frustrate criminals and their activities.
