DSS under fire over alarm on plot for interim government

The Department of State Services (DSS) has come under fire after a tip-off that some errant politicians are plotting the establishment of an interim administration.
Recall that the DSS claimed in a statement on Wednesday that it had identified people who intended to prevent Bola Tinubu, the president-elect, from being sworn in and to compel an interim government.

According to the agency, the plan to impose an interim government is to ignore the constitution and threaten the country’s civil order, which would cause an avoidable crisis.

According to the report, the individuals want to prevent the May 29 inauguration of the new administration by funding large-scale violent protests and obtaining pointless court injunctions.

The DSS, however, vowed that it would cooperate with all pertinent institutions, people, and groups to make sure that the inauguration went as smoothly and effectively as President Muhammadu Buhari had promised.

The secret police therefore issued a warning to those attempting to thwart Nigerian democracy to cease their cunning plans and orchestrations.

However, some Nigerians have taken to the microblogging site Twitter to criticize the secret police for preparing to detain demonstrators who are peacefully opposed to Bola Tinubu’s declaration as the country’s next president.

Additionally, some internet users criticized the DSS for issuing a statement to warn those plotting to impose an interim government rather than gathering proof and bringing those responsible to justice.
