The Department of State Services (DSS) has warned against a planned nationwide protest against hardship in the country, stating that it has identified the sponsors and warned them not to proceed.
In a press statement, the DSS alleged that the protest would be hijacked by hoodlums to cause chaos and extreme violence, with the goal of achieving regime change.
The agency claimed to have intelligence on the funding lines, sponsors, and collaborators of the plot and has applied non-kinetic and conflict resolution strategies to dissuade the planners.
The State Service urged prospective protesters to eschew violence and engage with authorities peacefully, warning that violence would lead to destruction of lives and property.
The agency called on various groups and individuals to shun participation in the planned protest and work towards building a peaceful nation.
The operative stated that it would work with other security agencies to maintain peace and apply legitimate methods to achieve this goal.
