Following the security advisory released by the US Embassy on possible terror attack in Abuja, the Department of State Services (DSS) has said that Nigerians need to be security conscious.
Public relations officer of DSS, Peter Afunanya, said this in a statement on Monday.
Afunanya said that the DSS had issued similar advisory in the past, urging Abuja residents to remain alert and calm.

“While advising that necessary precautions are taken by all and sundry, the populace is enjoined to remain alert and assist security agencies with useful information regarding threats and suspicious criminal acts around them,” he added.
Afunanya said the DSS was working with other law enforcement agencies and stakeholders to maintain peace and order in and beyond Abuja.
The US Embassy security advisory alert issued on Sunday said targets for the attack may include government buildings, places of worship, schools, markets and shopping malls.
It said others are hotels, bars, restaurants, athletic gatherings, transport terminals, law enforcement facilities and international organisations.
