Will Tinubu’s inauguration on May 29 still hold?
This was disclosed in a statement by the secret police’s spokesperson, Peter Afunaya, on Thursday, May 25, via the agency’s Twitter handle.
According to the DSS, all uncredited and uninvited persons are to stay away from the event on Monday.
It urged Nigerians, civil society organisations and the media to strictly adhere to the security and civil guidelines during the inauguration.
The statement reads in part:
“The Service is, however, aware of plans by subversive elements to disrupt the programmes in parts of the country. The aim is to undermine security agencies’ efforts at ensuring peaceful ceremonies as well as creating panic and fear among members of the public.”
