Nigeria’s secret police, the Department of State Services (DSS), has urged Nigerians to be security conscious during the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
In a statement by DSS spokesperson, Dr. Peter Afunanya, the security agency said the service will sustain collaboration with sister security agencies and indeed other stakeholders to ensure hitch-free celebrations.
The Service also urged Nigerians to carry forward the spirit of charity, empathy, and unity beyond the festivities and abstain from any acts capable of undermining these principles during this celebration period.
Part of the statement read that “everyone is advised to be security conscious as well as report suspicious activities to security and law enforcement organisations.”
It added that as the joyous occasion is being commemorated, everyone should celebrate responsibly, exemplify the true essence of the event, and strive for common humanity based on harmonious coexistence, a good conscience, and neighbourliness.
