“Now, people have started manifesting attitudes that are inimical to the security, welfare, and orderliness of society.  So, we won’t cross our hands. We have arrested the sponsors of those who did the flag. It is not just that children are flying flags. No. There is more to that,” the DSS spokesman Peter Afunanya said in Abuja during a briefing of security agencies.

“There are some aspects of our operations that we may not sit before the camera and begin to reel out either because of their sensitivity or we are not supposed to say them now or because there are ongoing investigations and we may not say things to jeopardise those investigations,” he said.

“But I can assure you, be patient with us. You will hear from us sooner than later. We are not sleeping over the issues. We would take it to the end and you would be surprised if at all, we declare the information to the public.”
