DSS Urges Public Vigilance during Ramadan and Lent, Cautions Against Crowded Areas

The Department of State Services (DSS) has warned Nigerians against crowded gatherings during Ramadan and Lent
The DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya in a statement on Friday, called on Nigerians to be vigilant against public dangers, especially improvised explosive devices.
“Residents are advised to remain vigilant against public dangers, especially Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs)”
“Also, the general public is urged to stay informed about potential threats; avoid crowded or suspicious areas, and report to relevant security agencies any strange objects, activities, and movements of hostile elements.” he stated.
Felicitating the Muslim faithful on the commencement of Ramadan and the Christians for the Lent period, Afunanya called on the citizens to report any strange activities or movements to security agencies.
The statement noted that, the DSS recognizes the significance of these sacred rites, which is why it enjoins worshipers to promote understanding, compassion, and respect for one another during and after the exercises.
He also charged clerics from both religions, traditional rulers, and other stakeholders to refrain from economic exploitation, sabotage, or profiteering during these important obligations.
“It appeals to stakeholders to refrain from economic exploitation, sabotage, or profiteering during these important obligations. This is more so because illegal practices such as price gouging or unethical marketing tactics are ungodly; violate fairness, and can undermine the true essence of holy events. “As believers, it is incumbent upon us to uphold good standards and ensure that everyone can observe religious duties with ease and dignity”. He noted.
Furthermore, the service encourages clerics and religious leaders to uphold empathy as well as prioritize cooperation and conflict prevention beyond the periods under reference.
