The Department of State Services (DSS) has said it uncovered plans by some people to stage violent protests in parts of Nigeria.

The DSS spokesperson, PETER AFUNANYA, in a statement on Twitter said the planned protests are meant to discredit the Federal Government and also plunge the country into anarchy.

PETER AFUNANYA stated that intelligence reports have indicated that the plotters include certain politicians who are desperately mobilizing unsuspecting student leaders, ethnic-based associations, youth, and disgruntled groups for the planned action.
