Oba of Lagos’s threat: DSS to take appropriate action

The Department of State Security is taking appropriate action to tackle the threatening speech against the Igbos by the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, the service has said.

Answering questions at the National Information Centre in Abuja on Wednesday, Spokesman for DSS, Marylyn Ogar, said the service was handling the matter without giving details of the action that it was taking.

Ogar said, “We are taking appropriate action. Yesterday, the service had once again, warned all Nigerians not to fan the embers of discord within the country.

“If the presidential election had come and gone successfully, we wouldn’t want people to begin to wipe up sentiments unnecessarily. So we are handling it.”
