The Department of State Services (DSS) has alerted the public of orchestrated plans by some persons to cause a total breakdown of law and order in the country shortly after the 11th March, 2023 Gubernatorial and State Assembly Elections with unnecessary palpable political tension in parts of the country prior to the elections under reference. 

The Service in a statement by its public relations officer Peter Afunaya also observed that some of the players are at daggers drawn with one another which holds dire consequences for national peace and stability.

It is in view of these that the Service warns politicians and their supporters to engage constructively while everyone is advised to shun fake news, hate speech and such other utterances that may be inimical to peaceful co-existence stating that election should not be seen as a do or die affair.
