Gov poll : DSS arrests 2 over call for violence in Kano

The Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday said it has arrested two suspects over alleged call and deliberate incitement for violence in parts of Kano State.

In a statement issued by the Public Relations Officer of DSS, Peter Afunanya in Abuja, said the suspects had separately recorded messages and shared them through different social media channels.

The statement reads in part: ”In those potentially harmful messages, they specifically championed certain political interests and called on their supporters to violently attack those opposed to them.

”The DSS will not idly watch misguided persons or groups undermine the peace and security of the state.”

Recall that the Governorship and House of Assembly elections will take place this Saturday.
