The Department of State Services (DSS) has urged residents of the Abuja metropolis and Nigerians in general to remain calm, saying the security agencies are right on top of the situation.
The Service was responding to alarm raised by the United States and Britain over possible terrorist attack in Abuja.
DSS through its spokesman, Peter Afunanya, however called for calm even as it works with other law enforcement agencies and stakeholders to maintain peace and order in and beyond Abuja
“DSS has received several enquiries relating to the security advisory issued by the US Embassy in Abuja, today, 23/10/22.
“The public may recall that the Service had variously issued similar warnings in the past.
“While advising that necessary precautions are taken by all and sundry, the populace is enjoined to remain alert and assist security agencies with useful information regarding threats and suspicious criminal acts around them,” a DSS statement partly read.
