The Department of State Services (DSS) has warned Nigerians
of possible terror attacks during the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations and wants
everyone to be on the alert and to look out for suspicious packages
and strange
persons within their communities ahead of and during the Eid-el-Fitr
celebrations.
The agency raised the concern on Friday in a statement by
its spokesman, Mr Tony Opuiyo who confirmed that the DSS had been availed of
intelligence suggesting possible terror attacks by militants on selected
locations across Nigeria. He said some locations of interest that could be
targeted include parks and places of worship.
The DSS spokesman affirmed the agency’s commitment to
adopting strategies aimed at ensuring the security and safety of all law-abiding
residents and citizens. He also advised members of the public to be security
conscious and report suspicious persons or activities to relevant security operatives
while highlighting the arrest of a group of suspected kidnappers in June among
other criminal gangs that were nabbed.
