The Department of State Service (DSS) has condemned the alleged plot to overthrow the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The secret security outfit also accused the organisation it called the Nigeria Continuity and Progress (NCP) of being responsible for the alleged revolutionary call.
DSS spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, in a statement on Friday, dismissed the group as being unpatriotic as it allegedly called for a revolution and forceful change of government.
He added, “The Service is aware that the group is working in tandem with a body of subversive agents and adversaries of the Nigerian State to create an atmosphere of insecurity and use same to cause disaffection among the people.
“It is evident that the misguided group and its cohorts have also planned to instigate widespread violence against the government in order to actualize their infamous agenda of forceful change of regime”.
The statement reads in part, “The DSS not only supports the consolidation of democracy in Nigeria, but will leave no stone unturned in rooting out persons or groups desirous of truncating the process or undermining the country’s peace and corporate existence.
“The Service will, therefore, not condone any form of extra-judicial activities or methods designed or adopted by persons or groups to subvert constituted authorities.
“Consequently, aggrieved politicians are enjoined, for the umpteenth time, to desist, forthwith, from plans to take laws into their hands or engage in acts capable of breaching the peace.”
Meanwhile, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the just concluded general election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of planning to jail him because he refused to let go his mandate.
Atiku, who spoke through his media aide, Paul Ibe, accused Buhari of planning to rope him in a coup plot against his administration.
