DSS Confirms Plot to Create Interim Government in Nigeria

The Department of State Services (DSS) has identified a number of unnamed Nigerian plotting to planning implement an interim government in the country.

The DSS described the alleged plot as an aberration, saying the plan would plunge Nigeria into an avoidable crisis.

In a statement on Tuesday signed by its spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, the secret service said the move will further undermine civil rule.

Afunanya noted that the perpetrators have been series of meetings in a bid to sponsor violent protests in major cities across the country to force the declaration of a State of Emergency.

The statement titled ‘DSS confirms plot for interim government by misguided political actors’, partly read;

“The DSS has identified some key players in the plot for an Interim Government in Nigeria. The Service considers the plot, being pursued by these entrenched interests, as not only an aberration but a mischievous way to set aside the constitution and undermine civil rule as well as plunge the country into an avoidable crisis.

“The illegality is totally unacceptable in a democracy and to the peace-loving Nigerians. This is even more so that the machination is taking place after the peaceful conduct of the elections in most parts of the country. ”

“The planners, in their many meetings, have weighed various options, which include, among others, to sponsor endless violent mass protests in major cities to warrant a declaration of State of Emergency.

“Another is to obtain frivolous court injunctions to forestall the inauguration of new executive administrations and legislative houses at the Federal and State levels.

“The DSS supports the President and Commander-in-Chief in his avowed commitment to a hitch-free handover and will assiduously work in this direction. It also supports the Presidential Transition Council and such other related bodies in the States.

“It will collaborate with them and sister security and law enforcement agencies to ensure seamless inaugurations come 29th May 2023. ”

“Consequently, the Service strongly warns those organising to thwart democracy in the country to retract from their devious schemes and orchestrations.

“Stakeholders, notably judicial authorities, media, and the Civil Society are enjoined to be watchful and cautious to avoid being used as instruments to subvert peace and stability of the nation.

“While its monitoring continues, the DSS will not hesitate to take decisive and necessary legal steps against these misguided elements to frustrate their obnoxious intentions. “
