Part of the statement read: “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 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.

“Instructively, defaulting persons will surely be brought to book."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, had raised serious allegation against Muhammadu Buhari accusing the president of plotting to put him in jail.
