The Department of State Services (DSS) has announced the arrest of sponsors behind the demonstrators who were seen flying foreign flags during the #EndBadGovernance protests in several northern states. This development has raised concerns across the country.
In a move to address these concerns, the DSS stated that it has begun investigations into the matter and will soon provide more details about those sponsoring the activities.
“Now, people have started manifesting attitudes that are inimical to the security, welfare, and orderliness of society. So, we won’t cross our hands. We have arrested the sponsors of those who did the flag. It is not just that children are flying flags. No. There is more to that,” DSS spokesman Peter Afunanya said during a security briefing in Abuja.
“There are some aspects of our operations that we may not sit before the camera and begin to reel out either because of their sensitivity or we are not supposed to say them now or because there are ongoing investigations and we may not say things to jeopardize those investigations,” Afunanya added. “But I can assure you, be patient with us. You will hear from us sooner than later. We are not sleeping over the issues. We would take it to the end and you would be surprised if at all, we declare the information to the public.”
