The Department of State Services (DSS) has raised the alarm of plans to attack worship and recreational centres before and during the Eid celebrations next week.
DSS Spokesman, Peter Afunanya, who raised the alarm in a statement issued on Thursday night, called for vigilance.
“The DSS calls for vigilance prior to the Eid celebrations more so that reports had indicated plans to attack worship and recreational centres before and during the festivities,” the statement read.
“This is evident in the recovery of primed IEDs among the suspected terrorists.”
