DSS Warns Politicians Against Inciting Comments

The Department of State Service (DSS) has warned politicians against making inciting statement that could lead to break down of law and order in the country.

In a statement on Saturday by its spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, warns politicians to adopt the approach that would enhance peace, stability and security in the country.

The DSS also warned that it would not tolerate attempt by persons or groups to take laws into their hands and champion anarchy.

“Those peddling fake news, hate speech and all forms of false narratives as basis to ignite violence or pit the people against the present or incoming administrations, at the Federal, State and Parliamentary levels, should stop forthwith. Those inciting violence have nothing to gain as doing so will not only consume them but also the innocent.

The DSS had earlier urged dissatisfied politicians to abide by the rules of engagement and approach the courts for redress over grievances arising from the just concluded elections.
