The Department of State Services (DSS) has claimed that there are “orchestrated plans” by some persons to cause a total breakdown of law and order, and disrupt the scheduled elections in parts of the Federation.
The DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, on Wednesday, warned the individuals or groups, regardless of their status, to bury such thought in their own interest.
The secret service, therefore, cautioned political players to be law-abiding as Nigerians head to the polls for the governorship and State assemblies’ 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 added.
Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has postponed the governorship and State House of Assembly elections scheduled for March 11, to March 18.
