In a swift response to growing concerns over national security, the Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested a man accused of using social media platforms to call for a military coup. The arrest highlights the vigilance of security agencies in monitoring and curbing attempts to destabilize the government through online channels.
According to DSS officials, the suspect allegedly posted messages and content aimed at inciting unrest and rallying support for a military takeover. Authorities state that these actions posed a serious threat to peace and constitutional order. The agency has assured the public that it will continue to track and respond to such dangerous activities to preserve national stability.
The detainee is currently under investigation as the DSS gathers evidence related to the alleged plot. Security experts warn that the rise of social media as a tool for political mobilization carries risks, requiring constant vigilance from both government and citizens.
This arrest underscores the ongoing challenges faced by Nigeria in managing the intersection of technology, information dissemination, and national security in an increasingly digital world. The DSS remains committed to protecting the country from threats, both online and offline.
