The Director General, Management and Staff of the Department of State Services (DSS) felicitate with the Nigerian people on the occasions of Christmas and the coming New Year celebrations.
The Secutity Service therefore urges all and sundry to remain law abiding and peaceful during and after the celebrations. It calls on everyone to be security conscious and mindful of his/her environment.
The DSS in a brief statement on Friday, December 22nd, 2023 by its Director, PR & Strategic Communications, Dr Peter Nnochirionye Afunnanya, also enjoined the operators and patrons of recreational/motor parks, fun places, worship centres, supermarkets and other public spaces to be alert and take appropriate measures to protect their facilities and the users.
In the same vein, the DSS advises citizens and residents to "report suspicious persons, movements, parcels and objects to relevant security agencies. Furthermore, they are encouraged to shun acts of violence, fake news and any form of divisive tendency, in the interest of public order and national security.
"Therefore, the Service enjoins members of the public to use the opportunity of the celebration to promote unity and peaceful coexistence".
Meanwhile, the DSS said it will continue to collaborate with sister security and law enforcement agencies and all stakeholders to provide adequate security before, during and after the festive periods.
